* The intro is pretty much the theme of the song,
the matter is just timing. She changes chords a lot
in between words, so you just have to listen to the rythm.

[verse 1]

G
When you feel like the days

                  Em7        G/F#
just drone on and on and on 

G                                            Em7
And you feel like the nights seem quickly gone

           C                                                 Am
and on the inside you feel like your heart is just gaping wide

           C
and on the inside you feel like 

                 Am   D
no one's on your side

       G     Em7  G/F#  G     Em7     G/F#
well, I am   I am       I am    I am



[verse 2]

G
When you thought you could rest,

                           Em7        G/F#
but you found out you were wrong,

G
and there's another need another battle

                             Em7
another one more thing that comes along

[bridge 2]

           C
and on the inside you hear the fall

                         Am
but you hate the falling sound

           C
and on the inside you can't pick another

               Am              D
broken piece up off the ground

      Em7      G/F#
well, I know


[chorus]

G                Em7
Hush little baby don't say a word

C        Am/B                  Am                        
Daddy's gone and bought you a great big heaven to rest in

G                                     Em7
He's bought it with blood and put the seal in your hearts

C              Am/B            Am                          G    [play intro]
It'll give you the hope you need to get up and start ...  again



[verse 3]

G                                                Em7
When all the things you thought you left behind


are still hanging on

    G
and everything you try to do right 

         Em7
ends up all wrong


[bridge 3]

           C                                    Am  
and on the inside everyone else seems basically fine

           C                                    Am
but on the inside even they won't let go of the dead 

                     D       
and cling to what's alive

     Em7    G/F#    
well I AM


[repeat chorus 2x]


That's all folks! This is a very beautiful song, and I hope it is a
source of inspiration to you like it is for me.
