Noticed that the other tabs for this song are a little.... incomplete. 
The difficult thing about the song is she has done many different versions with 
many different variations on the lyrics, 
but the chords stay the same.
I am using the latest version off "I speak because I can"
Capo on 2nd.
[Intro]
 Am   C   G(x2)
[Verse]
Well AmI own this Cfeel 
And AmI rode the Csky 
And AmI have no Creason to Ereason with Fyou 
I'd be Amsad that I never held your Chand as you lowered, 
but I Gunderstand that I'd never let it gAmo 
I'd be sad that I never held your Chand as you were lowered,
But I Gunderstand the world does what it Amdoes 
You Fnever did learCn to let the Glittle things go, 
And you Fnever did leaCrn to let me Gbe. 
And you Fnever did leaCrn to let lGittle people grow, 
You Fnever did leaCrn how to Gsee. 
But I Amwhisper that I love this man Cnow and for forever, 
To your Gsoul as it floats out of the wAmindow. 
To the Fworld that you Cturned your Gback on, 
To the Fworld that neveCr really let you Gbe. 
I am Amlower now, and Clower still, 
And you did Falways say that Cone day I would Gsuffer, 
You did Falways say that Cpeople get their Gpay, 
You did Falways say that CI was going plGaces, 
And that you Fwouldn't have it Cany other Gway. 
[Chorus]
But I Amcouldn't turn my back on a Cworld, 
For what I like wouldn't Glet me, 
But i Amcouldn't turn my back on a Cworld,
For what I like anyGday 
Instrumental break (not here in every version) - Carry on same chords
And I Amcouldn't turn my back on a Cworld,
for what I like wouldn't Glet me
And I Amcouldn't turn my back on a Cworld, 
for what I like I Gneeded 
And I Amshouldn't turn my back,
on a Csweet smelling Blackberry GStone.C  G

Capo on 2nd.

[Intro]

Am C G

(x2)

[Verse]

Am C

Well I own this feel

Am C

And I rode the sky

Am C E F

And I have no reason to reason with you

Am C

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you lowered,

G Am

but I understand that I'd never let it go

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,

G Am

But I understand the world does what it does

F C G

You never did learn to let the little things go,

F C G

And you never did learn to let me be.

F C G

And you never did learn to let little people grow,

F C G

You never did learn how to see.

Am C

But I whisper that I love this man now and for forever,

G Am

To your soul as it floats out of the window.

F C G

To the world that you turned your back on,

F C G

To the world that never really let you be.

Am C

I am lower now, and lower still,

F C G

And you did always say that one day I would suffer,

F C G

You did always say that people get their pay,

F C G

You did always say that I was going places,

F C G

And that you wouldn't have it any other way.

[Chorus]

Am C

But I couldn't turn my back on a world,

For what I like wouldn't let me,

Am C

But i couldn't turn my back on a world,

For what I like anyday

for what I like I needed

And I shouldn't turn my back,
