Make It All Ok

R.E.M.

Tom: F

F              Am              Dm               C   
You threw away the ballast and you rowed your boat ashore  
       Gm               C 
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?  
    F             Am        Dm       C 
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore  
       Gm               C   
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?  
 
       Am                 
So you worked out your excuses,  
        D  
turned away and shut the door.  
    Am 
The world's too vast for us now,  
        D 
and you wanted to explore  
 
       Em              C   
It's a long, long long road  
      Em                      C  
And I don't know which way to go  
       Em                             Dm           C      Bb 
If you offered me your hand again I'd have to walk away  
 
 
When I saw you at the street fair, you called out my name  
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?  
You said we could start over, try and make it all okay.  
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?  
 
So our past has been rewritten  
and you threw away the pen.  
You'd said that I was useless,  
but now you'll take me in again  
 
      Em             C 
Well Jesus loves me fine. 
          Em                   C  
And your words fall flat this time.  
       Em                 Dm              C 
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say, 
           Bb  
"We don't have a prayer between us."  
 
Didn't you believe that I have finally turned away?  
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?  
Anything to hold onto to help me through my day.  
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?  
 Em             C 
Jesus loves me fine.  
         Em                   C 
But his words fall flat this time.  
        Em              C 
It's a long, long long road 
       Em                     C  
And I don't know which way to go  
        Em                              C 
If you offered me your world, did you think I'd really stay?  
If you offered me the heavens, I would have to turn away.  
       Em                  Dm             C 
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say, 
           Bb  
"We don't have a prayer between us."  
  Bb 
Didn't you, now? Didn't you, now?  
        F 
Didn't you?
