Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Well I prayed that  the sun was a hope and the rain  was an angel
 
 I came out of  the treetop and into the cradle
 
And  I broke down like a babe  with the hungriest belly
 You make it  all worth  my while
 Well I lay under the covers  for a hundred days
 
 And I closed both  my eyes til the relatives came
 
 And I spun round  in a circle til I came undone
 
You  make  it  all worth my while
 So send  me to the grave with the age old question
How'd  I get into this beautiful mess?
 It was never  my intention and never my style
Everything  about you is worth my while
 
 I laughed so nobody  ever had to catch me crying
 
 And I cried so nobody  ever had to catch me lying
 
 And I failed a thousand  times but it keeps me trying
 
You  make  it all worth my while
 So send  me to the grave with the age old question
How'd  I get into this beautiful mess?
 It was never  my intention and never my style
Everything  about you is worth my while
 So send  me to the grave with the age old question
How'd  I get into this beautiful mess?
 It was never  my intention and never my style
Everything  about you is worth my while
 So send  me to the grave with the age old question
How'd  I get into this beautiful mess?
 It was never  my intention and never my style
Some  things happen and I don't know why
 And it all comes  down at the end of the day
 Its hard  to handle and its hard to take
 Its a mighty  big world, mighty big game
I've  been broken and I've been ashamed
 I've been caught in  the world, out in the blue,
 Crashed  to the floor but I still have you
I  still have you
I  still have you
I  still have you
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!
