After All C (add G) Fmaj7 go ahead, push your luck, find out how much love the world can hold,

once upon a time i ^Dm7had control, and r^Feigned my s^Goul in t^Cight^G. C (add G) Fmaj7 well the whole truth, it's like the story of a wave unfurled, but i held the evil ^Dm7of the world, so ^Fi stopped the tide, froze it ^Gup from inside,

C (add G) Fmaj7 and it felt like a winter machine that you go through and then,

you catch your breath and winter s^Dm7tarts again, and e^Fveryone e^Glse is spring b^Cound^G.

C (add G) Fmaj7 and when i chose to live, there was no joy, it's just a line i crossed

it wasn't worth the pain my ^Dm7death would have cost so ^Fi was not l^Gost or fo^Cund.^G

C (add G) Fmaj7 and if i was to sleep, i knew my family had more truth to tell.

and so i traveled down a ^Dm7whispering well, to ^Fknow myse^Glf through ^Cthe^Gm.

C (addG) Fmaj7 growing up, my mom had a room full of books, and hid away in there,

her father raging down a s^Dm7piral stair, till ^Fhe found someone, most d^Gays his son,

C (add G) Fmaj7 and sometimes i think my father, too, was a refugee,

i know they tried to keep their ^Dm7pain from me, they ^Fcould not ^Gsee what it was f^Cor.^G

C (add G) but now i'm sleeping fine,

sometimes the truth is like a s^Fmaj7econd chance, i am the daughter of a ^Dm7great romance, and ^Fthey are the c^Ghildren of the ^Cwar.^G

(break) C (addG) Fmaj7 Dm7 F G C G C (add G) Fmaj7 well the sun rose with so many colors, it nearly broke my heart,

it worked me over like a ^Dm7work of art, and ^Fi was a p^Gart of all t^Chat.^G

C (add G) Fmaj7 so go ahead push your luck, say what it is you gotta say to me,

we will push on into that ^Dm7mystery, and it'll ^Fpush right back, and there are ^Gworse things than ^Cthat^G,

C (add G) Fmaj7 cause for every price, and every penance that i could think of,

it's better to have ^Dm7fallen in love, than ^Fnever to have ^Gfallen at a^Cll,^G

C (add G) Fmaj7 cause when you live in a world, well it gets into who you thought you'd be,

and now i laugh at how the ^Dm7world changed me, F G C (add G) Em Am G C( add G) G C(add G) i think life chose me after all.
