[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
C G D G
She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
C G D Cadd9
she had eyes so blue they looked like weather
C G D G
When she needed me I wasn't around
Em C D G
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
[Verse 2]
C G D G
There were times apart and times together
C G D Cadd9
I was pledged to her for worse or better
C G D G
When it mattered most I let her down
Em C D G
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
[Chorus]
C D G
It will all work out eventually
C D Dsus4 D
Better off with him than here with me
[Break]
C G D G
C G D C
C G D G
Em C D G
[Chorus]
C D G
It will all work out eventually
C D Dsus4 D
Maybe better with him than here with me
[Verse]
C G D G
Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy
C G D Cadd9
and the water's rising in the levee
C G D G
Still I think of her when the sun goes down
Em C D G
It never goes away, but it all works out
[Outro] (fade out)
