More Of What Matters chords by Jamey Johnson

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Intermediate 💪
Key: D


Intro:

D  Dmaj7  C  G


Verse 1:
        D
Well I, I woke up one morning
          Dmaj7
With everything I own around me
      Cmaj7
I had a pocket full of money
      G
And a cold and empty heart
          D
I spent a lifetime chasing rainbows
         Dmaj7
Watching life go by through windows
      Cmaj7
And I bet a rich man's fortune
        G
On this worthless house and cars

Pre-Chorus:
Em                         A
It took me way too long to find
         Em
That the best things in life are free
        A
And the rest ain't worth a dime


Chorus:
       D
I need more of what matters
      F#m7
Every moment that I have it
            G                                   G C
'Cause it's all that you take with you when you go
            D
If spinning wheels and climbing ladders
             F#m7
Is all there is, well, then I'd rather
      G
Go to heaven empty-handed
        Gm
Knowing that I got it right
       Em7
I need more of what matters
        A                        D     Dmaj7  C
More of what really matters in my life
G
 And it got me thinking


Verse 2:
    D                  Dmaj7
Hey, whatever happened to sunshine and roses
    C                             G
And walking down a dirt road on a lazy summer day?
   D                            Dmaj7
Or supper with the family after early church on Sunday?
          C                            G
You know, ain't all that funny how the time just slips away?


Pre-Chorus:
Em                         A
It took me way too long to find
         Em
That the best things in life are free
        A
And the rest ain't worth a dime


Chorus:
       D
I need more of what matters
      F#m7
Every moment that I have it
            G                                   G C
'Cause it's all that you take with you when you go
            D
If spinning wheels and climbing ladders
             F#m7
Is all there is, well, then I'd rather
      G
Go to heaven empty-handed
        Gm
Knowing that I got it right
       Em7
I need more of what matters
        A                      C  G D
More of what really matters in my life


Outro:
Dmaj7  C  G    D
      Mmm
