 I play it in G; it's easier and much 
 easier to interpret. What a great song! 
 FEEL FREE TO CORRECT AT ANY TIME" 
 
 
 
     strum 
G 
For all the times 
D          Am 
I felt cheated 
G              
I complained 
D        C         G 
You know how I love to complain 
G 
For all the wrongs 
D       Am 
I repeated 
D 
Though I was to blame 
Am 
I still cursed that rain 
C 
I didn't have a prayer, 
D 
Didn't have a clue 
C                D 
Then out of the blue 
            D            G                
CHORUS: God gave me you 
                            D 
        To show me what's real 
                                   C 
        When there's more to life 
                               D 
        Than just how I feel 
                                G 
        And all that I'm worth 
                                 D 
        Is right before my eyes 
                                 C 
        And all that I live for 
                                 D       Dm 
        Though I didn't know why 
                   G    C    D 
        Now I do      
                                 G 
        'Cause God gave me you 
 
 
v2. (repeat pattern) 
 
 
For all the times 
I wore myself pity 
Like a favorite shirt 
All wrapped up in that hurt 
For every glass I saw 
I saw half empty 
Now it overflows, 
Like a river through my soul 
For every doubt I had, 
I'm finally free 
And I truly believe 
 
CHORUS 
 
bridge: 
 
         D               Am 
In your arms I'm someone new 
             D               Am 
With every tender kiss from you 
           G 
I must confess 
C           D 
I've been blessed 
 
CHORUS (raised) 
            
              D 
God gave me you 
                    A 
To show me what's real 
                       G 
When there's more to life 
                   A 
Than just how I feel 
                     D 
And all that I'm worth 
                      A 
Is right before my eyes 
                      G 
And all that I live for  
                        A 
Thought I didn't know why 
       D   A   G         
Now I do 
                     D 
'Cause God gave me you 
 
strum in D.
