Am C D Am
I hate to tell you this, but I'm very, very happy,
Am C D Am
And I know that's not what you'd expect from me at all.
Am C D Am
I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully,
Am C D Am
I always wanted to take it to the wall.
G C F C
But I found somebody with a heart as big as Texas.
G C F C
I found an angel with the golden wings.
G C F C
She saw me down here in the dark somehow,
G C F
And everything is different now.

Am C D Am
Yeah, I miss the old crowd sometimes, and the wild, wild nights of running.
Am C D Am
You know, a starving soul can't live like that for long.
Am C D Am
You go around in circles that just keep getting smaller,
Am C D Am
You wake up one morning and half your life is gone.
G C F C
I got so tired of that I got so lonely.
G C F C
I dropped down and I called out to heaven, "Send me someone to love."
G C F C
And heaven shot back, "You get the love that you allow."
G C F
And everything is different now.

Dm E7
Oh, and it's sweet to know
Dm E7
The wisdom that living brings
Dm E7
Since I got the telegram from the god of simple things.
Solo (It starts over the last line of the bridge listen to the song for timing)
G C F C
She said, "I don't care what you do for a living.
G C F C
I don't care what kind of car you drive.
G C F C
All I want to know right now is what do you believe in
G C F C
And what it means to you to be alive.
G C F C
Will you stand here in this fire with me?
G C F C
Are you ready for another life?"
G C F C
So I bit that bullet and I took that vow,
G C F C
And everything is different now.
G C F C
Everything is different now.
G C F C
Everything is different now... (repeat and fade)
