[D] [Em]
[G] [Em]
[G] Some people say [D] I'm one of those [C] guys
The blessings of life [G] overlook
Sometimes I feel [D] like the tattered torn pages
[C] Of some old [D] paperback book
[C] All the places I've played [D] and the money I've made
[Em] I still [D] have nothing to [C] show
[G] And the only thing [D] that I have left
[C] In the whole [D] wide world [G] is you
[C] [G]
You put your whole life [D] into something you love
[C] But you never get that one big [G] break
That'll take you out of the [D] backstreet bar
[C] And put you on center [D] stage
[C] But a million cheers [D] and a million beers
Have [Em] just about [D] washed me [C] up
And [G] the only thing [D] that I have left
In [C] the whole [D] wide world [G] is you
[C] I gave it all [D] I had
Every [G] night for all [C] these years
[Am] [D] Pouring out my soul till it [G] was gone
[C] I spread myself [D] so thin
That I'm [G] just barely hanging [C] on
But tonight I'm with you
And [D] you can carry me through
[Em] Just [D] love [C] me
[G]
I was the only thing [D] that I have left
[C] In the whole [D] wide [G] world is you
[D]

[C] I gave it all [D] I had
Every [G] night for all [C] these years

[C] I spread myself [D] so thin
That [G] I'm just barely hanging [C] on
But tonight I'm with you
And [D] you can carry me through
[Em] Just [D] love [C] me
