G        D                           Em
              C                               G
Well I prayed that the sun was a hope and the rain was an angel
   D       Em                                   C
            G
I came out of the treetop and into the cradle
          D         Em
C                        G
And I broke down like a babe with the hungriest belly
         D          Em      C                G
You make it all worth my while

G         D   Em                                   C
                      G
Well I lay under the covers for a hundred days
           D          Em                               C
                G
And I closed both my eyes til the relatives came
           D       Em                                C
              G
And I spun round in a circle til I came undone
         D          Em      C                G
Em    C   D
You make it all worth my while

      G                                                    D
So send me to the grave with the age old question
Em                                   C
How'd I get into this beautiful mess?
            G                                        D
It was never my intention and never my style
Em                                    C                 G
Everything about you is worth my while

  D                 Em                             C
                G
I laughed so nobody ever had to catch me crying
           D            Em                               C
                   G
And I cried so nobody ever had to catch me lying
          D            Em                                  C
                       G
And I failed a thousand times but it keeps me trying
         D          Em      C                G
Em C D
You make it all worth my while

      G                                                    D
So send me to the grave with the age old question
Em                                   C
How'd I get into this beautiful mess?
            G                                        D
It was never my intention and never my style
Em                                    C                 G
Everything about you is worth my while

      G                                                    D
So send me to the grave with the age old question
Em                                   C
How'd I get into this beautiful mess?
            G                                        D
It was never my intention and never my style
Em                                    C                 G
Everything about you is worth my while

      G                                                    D
So send me to the grave with the age old question
Em                                   C
How'd I get into this beautiful mess?
            G                                        D
It was never my intention and never my style
Em                                           C
Some things happen and I don't know why

             G                                     D
And it all comes down at the end of the day
      Em                                   C
Its hard to handle and its hard to take
         G                              D
Its a mighty big world, mighty big game
Em                                        C
I've been broken and I've been ashamed
                  G                                  D
I've been caught in the world, out in the blue,
Em                                         C               G
  D Em
Crashed to the floor but I still have you

C                G  D Em
I still have you
C                G  D Em
I still have you
C                G  D Em
I still have you
C                G  D Em
I still have you


(I think it threw out the spacing a little, but if you stick to the patterns (G-D-Em-C
and G-Em-C-D) and switch every two counts, you'll be sweet. You know the song anyway!
Otherwise, listen to the track for the timing. Sorry about that!
