[Verse 1]
C F C
All of my life I’ve been making up the truth
F C
Spent my kid days just abandoning my youth
F Am
In cross-country cars fingernails painted blue
G C
And this guitar picks itself when the window meets the moon
[Verse 2]
F C
In Arizona, is this where I’m s’pposed to be?
F C
Cuz five days ago I hit the road from NYC
F Am
And hey, Jesus Christ, do you still believe in me?
G C
Am I still something worth saving? Could forgiveness work on me?
[Verse 3]
F C
And could I call you my friend, could I visit you someday
F C
Though it’s fateful accident that you even know my name
F Am
But life’s just too short for me to watch it slip away
G C
And cape cod’s just up the coast and I’ve been feeling kinda brave
[Verse 4]
F C
So send me to the beach, to my standoff with the moon
F C
To my God and to my questions, to the things I’ve yet to prove
F Am
All of my life spent deciphering the truth
G C
Trying to find some kind of answer in some Sufjan Stevens tune
[Chorus]
F C
Told us love was all we need
F C
Showed us how to get high
F Am
Told us what to believe
G C
All my, all my life, all my
[Verse 5]
F C
And I found your postcard in the mail the other day
F C
I promise to write back soon as I find something to say
F Am
I promise to remember and I promise not to break
G C
And I’ve been promising way too much these days
[Verse 6]
F C
1997 I was tossed into the world
F C
And what was the doctor’s verdict, am I boy or am I girl
F Am
From the backseat of this car, the windows down, my hair blown wild
G C
Expectations blown away when you are just somebody’s child
[Verse 7]
F C
And deep in your heart, somewhere do you believe
F C
When you’re up against the stars and when you miss your family
F Am
If you could take it back tomorrow, if you could live those years again
G C
Would you do those kid days different, would you ask that girl to dance
[Chorus]
F C
Told us love was all we need
F C
Showed us how to get high
F Am
Told us what to believe
G C
All my, all my life, all my
