All This Will Pass

C C God this is hard you've had no sleep, you thought of nothing else for weeks Am G You begin your lines, and fumble with your purse C It's been eating you and you don't know what to do Am G And your lie, only made it worse F C F C You can't expect him to understand, he's not a saint, he's just a man Am G And you know, that you can't change what he did F C F C But if you had 40 lives, you d get it right by the 39th, Am G C As it is, all that you could ask, all this will pass C God, you wish like hell, you hadn t done it and you tell Am G Him, how much you regret it C But you're talking to yourself, you're as lonely and as desperate Am G As a kettle boiling, with no there to get it F C F C All the words you meant to say, hang in the air then float away Am G And vanish into the end of a dying day F C F C But if you had 40 lives, you d get it right by the 39th, Am G C As it is, all that you could ask, all this will pass Don t lie, ah ah ah F C F C And if only you hadn't stayed, and if only you'd been delayed Am G And it s funny what a difference a minute makes F C F C But if you had 40 lives, you d get it right by the 39th Am G C As it is, all that you could ask, all this will pass
