[Intro]: Gadd2   Bm7 Aadd4 x2

Gadd2    Aadd4
And what if it makes you sad at me
                         Bm7                         Gadd2
And what if it makes you laugh now but you cry as you fall asleep
                                            Aadd4
And what if it takes your breath and you can hardly breathe
                         Bm7
And what if it makes the last sound be the very best sound

Cause you know that I'm always all for you, cause you know that I'm always all for you

Gadd2         Aadd4
And what if it makes you lose faith in me
                         Bm7                      Gadd2
And what if it makes you question every moment you cannot see
                                            Aadd4
And what if it makes you crash and you can't find the key
                        Bm7
And what if it makes you ask how you could let it all go

Gadd2              Aadd4     Gadd2  Aadd4                Gadd2                  Aadd4

                      Gadd2           Aadd4                       Gadd2           Aadd4
Cause you know that I'm always all for you, cause you know that I'm always all for, always
 all for you

[Interlude - part 1]: Gadd2 Aadd4 Gadd2 Aadd4

And if this be our last conversation, if this be the last time that we speak for a while
          Aadd4               Bm7                   C#m
Don't lose hope and don't let go, cause you should know

Gadd2 Aadd4          Gadd2  Aadd4                Gadd2                    Aadd4
If it makes you sad, if it makes you sad at me, then it's all my fault and let me fix it please oh
                      Gadd2           Aadd4                        Bm7
Cause you know that I'm always all for you, cause you know that I'm always all for you
Aadd4                        Gadd2  Aadd4              Gadd2                     Aadd4
What if what I want makes you sad at me, if it's all my fault then let me fix it please oh
                      Gadd2           Aadd4                        Bm7             C#m
Cause you know that I'm always all for you, cause you know that I'm always all for, always
            Gadd2
I am all for you



So for this song, I have made two different versions of the chords. The first
which I call the "muting version" is how the singer plays it,
and the "chord version" is for those of you who want to be able to play it without
having to mute strings.
Some of the chord names have been slightly simplified, further explanations
follows within the second set of brackets for those of you who are interested.

Chords - Muting version:
Gadd2 (5 X 0 4 0 0)
Aadd4 (7 X 0 6 0 0)   (In reality also a no5)
Bm7   (9 X 0 7 0 0)   (In reality also a no5)
C#m   (11 X 0 9 0 0)  (In reality also a #5 with an added D note)
D     (12 X 0 11 0 0)

Chords - Chord version:
Gadd2 (5 5 0 4 0 0)
Aadd4 (7 7 0 6 0 0)
Bm7   (9 9 0 7 0 0)
C#m   (11 11 0 9 0 0) (In reality also with added A and D notes, if you decide
D     (12 12 0 11 0 0)  not to mute the open strings)

Clarification:
Chordname (E A D G B E) which is now tuned to (D A D G A D)
X = Don't play / Muffle



Free papers for this song are available in .pdf on my website, you can find the
link in the description on the YouTube tutorial.
Among the papers available are Lyrics & Chords, Lyrics & Chords plus (with added
beats per chord), Chord Diagrams and Playing Patterns (strumming).
If you need further help or explanations don't hesitate to ask, if it's a subject
where other people may benefit from the answer it's best done
by posting a comment on the tutorial, but posts here and personal messages will
also be answered (though not as fast)!
