          INTRO:
          Am  C   D  Am  x 2
          Main Riff  x 2
          
          VERSE 1:
          Am     C                         D          Am
          I hate to tell you this, but I'm very, very happy,
          Am         C                       D               Am
          And I know that's not what you'd expect from me at all.
          Am   C              D            Am  
          I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully,
          Am    C            D              Am
          I always wanted to take it to the wall.
          
          CHORUS 1:
          G           C               F               C
          But I found somebody with a heart as big as Texas.
          G       C                 F      C 
          I found an angel with the golden wings.
          G       C                       F    C
          She saw me down here in the dark somehow,
              G     C       F
          And everything is different now.
          
          Main Riff  x 2
          
          VERSE 2:
          Am           C                       D              Am 
          Yeah, I miss the old crowd sometimes, and the wild, wild nights of running.
          Am   C                          D              Am     
          You know, a starving soul can't live like that for long.
          Am       C                    D                 Am 
          You go around in circles that just keep getting smaller,
          Am             C            D                 Am
          You wake up one morning and half your life is gone.
          
          CHORUS 2:
          G     C                F         C
          I got so tired of that; I got so lonely.
          G             C                                     F               C
          I dropped down and I called out to heaven, "Send me someone to love."
              G           C                  F                  C 
          And heaven shot back, "You get the love that you allow."
              G    C        F
          And everything is different now.

          BRIDGE:
          Dm                        E7
          Oh, and it's sweet to know
                          Dm           E7
          The wisdom that living brings
                          Dm      E7
          Since I got the telegram from the god of simple things.
          
          G  O:
          Solo (It starts over the last line of the bridge;  listen to the song for timing)
          
          CHORUS 3:
          G          C                     F              C
          She said, "I don't care what you do for a living.
          G      C                  F            C
          I don't care what kind of car you drive.
          G     C                         F              C
          All I want to know right now is what do you believe in
          G           C                    F   C
          And what it means to you to be alive.
          G       C                             F    C
          Will you stand here in this fire with me?
          G  C                     F     C
          Are you ready for another life?"
               G        C            F         C
          So I bit that bullet and I took that vow,
              G    C        F         C
          And everything is different now.
          
          OUTRO:
          G    C        F         C
          Everything is different now.
          G    C        F         C
          Everything is different now...  (repeat and fade)
