All We Are

I tried to paint you a picture;

the colors were all wrong.

I Black and white didn't fit you,

and all along you were shaded with patience,

and strokes of ev'rything that I need just (Dsus2)to make it.

(D)But I can see that

(D5)Lord knows, I've failed you time and again,

but you and me are (G)alright.

(Bm7)We won't say our goodbyes;

you know it's (A7)better that (Bm7)way.

We won't break we won't (D)die;

it's just a (A7)moment of change.

All we (D)are, all we are is (A7)ev'rything that's right.

(Bm7)All we (D)need, all we need,

a lover's (A7)alibi.

(Bm7)I walked a minute in your shoes;

they never would have fit.

I figured there's nothing to lose;

I need to get some perspective on these words before I write them down.

You're an island, (Dsus2)and my ship (D)has run aground.

that (D5)Lord knows, I'll fail you time and again,

but you and me are (G)alright.

(Bm7)We won't say our goodbyes;

you know it's (A7)better that (Bm7)way.

We won't break we won't (D)die;

it's just a (A7)moment of change.

All we (D)are, all we are is (A7)ev'rything that's right.

(Bm7)All we (D)need, all we need,

a lover's (A7)alibi.

(A)And (C)ev'ry single day that I can breathe,

(A)you change my philosophy.

I'm (F)never gonna let you pass me (D)by.

(Bm7)So don't say your goodbyes;

you know it's (A7)better that way.

(Bm7)We won't break, we won't die;

(D)it's just a (A7)moment of change,

yeah,

(D)ooh.

(Bm7)So don't say your goodbyes;

you know it's (A7)better that (Bm7)way.
