Lyrics

(C5)Back when all my lit tle goals seemed so im por tant, (C)ev ’ry pot of gold fill ing full of dis tor tion, (C)Heav en was a place still in (C5)space, not in mo tion, but soon.

I (C5)got you.

I got ev ’ry thing, I’ve got (F)you.

I don’t need noth ing more than (F)you.

I got ev ’ry thing, I’ve got (G)you.

(C5)We went (C)walk ing through the hills try’n’ to pre tend that we both know,

(C)may be if we save up, we could build a lit tle home.

But (C)then the hail storm came, a yell to need to let go; you got no con (G)trol,

no.

I (C5)got you

This (Am)weight’s too much a lone;

some (Am)days, I can’t (C5)hold it at all.

You (Am)take it on for me.

When to (CN.C.)mor row’s too much, I’ll car ry it all; I got (C5)you.

Yeah, when to (CN.C.)mor row’s too much, I’ll car ry it all; I got (C5)you.

I got you.

I got ev ’ry thing, I’ve got (F)you.

I don’t need noth ing more than (F)you.

I got ev ’ry thing, I’ve got (G)you.
