G D C G
Some people say I'm one of those guys with the blessings in life over looked
D C D
Sometimes I feel like the tatter torn pages of some old paper back book
C D Em C
All the places I've played and the money I've made still I've got nothing to show
G D C D G Dm C
And the only thing that I have left in the whole wide world is you
G D C G
You put your whole life into somethin' you love and you never get that one big break
D C D
That'll take you out of the back street bars and put you on center stage
C D Em C
But a million tears and a million beers have just about washed me up
G D C D G G7
And the only thing that I have left in the whole wide world is you
C D G C
I gave it all I had every night for all these years
Am D G G7
Pourin' out my soul 'til it was gone
C D G Am Bm C
I spread myself so thin and I'm just barely hang in' on
D
But tonight I'm with you and you can carry me through
Em D C
Just lo ve me
G D C D G
'Cuz the only thing that I have left in the whole wide world is you
C D G C
I gave it all I had every night for all these years
Am D G G7
Pourin' out my soul 'til it was gone
C D G Am Bm C
I spread myself so thin and I'm just barely hang in' on
D
But tonight I'm with you and you can carry me through
Em D C
Just lo ve me
G D C D G
'Cuz the only thing that I have left in the whole wide world is you
