All I Ever chords by Ellysa

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G                              Bm
When I was nine years old, I knew
        Em7                           D
I had a secret that I never wanted to tell
        G                Bm
And by 12 years old, it grew
            Em7                                         G
I prayed to God and asked him, please don't send me to Hell

Pre-Chorus:
D     Am7                 Em7            D
So I tried to fit in the mold that I was given, oh
            Am7                    Em7      D
I put on a dress, sat in the front pew and listened

And I listened

Chorus:
C               D
 All I ever wanted

Is to fall in love
     Em
Like everyone else
        G
And not hate myself
C               D
 All I ever wanted

Is to fall in love
     Em
Like everyone else
        G
And not hate myself
C
All I ever
  D
All, all I ever
  Em    G
All, all I ever wanted

Verse 2:
                     Bm
When I was 16, I was lost
        Em7                                    D
Swore I liked this boy, but I just wanted his girlfriend
       G            Bm
And at 18, I begged God
            Em7                                   G
To make me straight but all I ever heard back was silence


Pre-Chorus:
D     Am7                 Em7            D
So I tried to fit in the mold that I was given, oh
            Am7                    Em7      D
I put on a dress, sat in the front pew and listened

And I listened

Chorus:
C               D
 All I ever wanted

Is to fall in love
     Em
Like everyone else
        G
And not hate myself
C               D
 All I ever wanted

Is to fall in love
     Em
Like everyone else
        G
And not hate myself
C
All I ever
D
All, all I ever
Em    G
All, all I ever wanted

Verse 3:
               D
A year ago, I was still crying every night
       A5          Am         G5
Asking God to take away these feelings I can't fight
           A
And then I felt all my shame wash away
                                             G
As I heard God say, "I made you to love this way"

Chorus:
C               D
 All I ever wanted

Is to fall in love
     Em
Like everyone else
        G
And not hate myself
C               D
 All I ever wanted

Is to fall in love
     Em
Like everyone else
        G
And not hate myself
C
All I ever
  D
All, all I ever
  Em    G
All, all I ever wanted
C
All I ever
  D
All, all I ever
  Em    G
All, all I ever wanted
