Intro D  C  G 
 

             D    C     G 
I took a snapshot of my life 
          D      C        G 
But the exposure was all wrong 
           D     C       B7  Em 
I couldn't see a thing developing 
     C                 D 
It's been that way too long 
 

          D         C   G 
So I have come with a request 
               D         C     G 
Though part of me thinks I'm insane 
          D        C      B7         Em 
But I'm determined to see this thing through 
    C             Cm 
And I will not complain 
 

G       Bm       Dm7          Em 
Take my life and turn it into something better 
C         D       G       D 
Choose anyway you will 
G         Bm           Dm7                Em 
Take this shack, break down the walls and build a palace 
C       D      G 
Up on a higher hill 
 

            D          C        G 
I thought I knew where I should go and try 
   D         C     G 
To get there on my own 
           D    C         B7    Em 
I took the easy roads and now I know 
    C             Cm 
I'm lost and all alone 
 

G       Bm       Dm7          Em 
Take my life and turn it into something useful 
C          D          G       D 
Don't stop until your done 
G          Bm        Dm7             Em 
Take these eyes, and make them see a clearer vision 
C       D     G 
Of what I can become 


C                  Cm 
And on those days, when I think I'm dying 
     G            Em 
I'll trust in you and keep on trying 
C                    Am 
And if you pick this road, I'll take it 
C                              Cm 
'Cause with you as my guide, I know I can make it 
 

G       Bm       Dm7              Em 
Take my life and make it one that is worth living 
C          D          G       D 
Don't stop until your through 
G         Bm        Dm7           Em 
Take this life, the one that I am freely giving 

Final 

C              Cm 
I give it all, I give it all 
G                Em 
I give it all to you 
C             Cm             D  C  Cm 
I give it all, I give it all 
      G 
To you
