Verse:
D MajorD
Well I was a pretty young girl once
A augmentedA
I had dreams I had high hopes
E MajorE
I married a man he stole my heart away
D MajorD
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
All that you have is your soul
D MajorD
Why was I such a young fool
A augmentedA
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
E MajorE
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
D MajorD
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
And all that you have is your soul

So don't be tempted by the shiny apple

A augmentedA
Hunger only for a world of truth
E MajorE A augmentedA
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Verse:
D MajorD
I thought, thought that I could find a way
A augmentedA
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
E MajorE
I'd take it all, I'd take it all, I'd run away
D MajorD
Me for myself first class and first rate
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
But all that you have is your soul
D MajorD
Here I am, I'm waiting for a better day
A augmentedA
A augmentedA second chance
A augmentedA little luck to come my way
E MajorE
A augmentedA hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
D MajorD
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Chorus:
D MajorD
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple

Don't you eat of a bitter fruit

Hunger only for a taste of justice
A augmentedA
Hunger only for a world of truth
E MajorE A augmentedA
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Verse:
A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh my mama told me
A augmentedA E MajorE
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
A augmentedA D MajorD
She say she wanna spare the children

All that you have
