Elton John – All That Im Allowed (Guitar)

Verse 1:               C#                           G#/C#
             Breaking down never seems to be that hard.

                        B/C#             F#/C#
             Falling short is always in the cards.

                              C#                  G#/C#
             I'm on the road, sun rising up my back,

                      B/C#                   F#/C#
             Lost it all somewhere between the cracks.

                      Ebm                Ab
             I always hoped that I'd do better.

                           Ebm             Ab
             That I'd come out on top for once.

                    F7/A              Bbm
             We all get what we're delivered.

                        Ebm            Ab
             Then there are the lucky ones.

                      C#
Chorus:  And I've got all that I'm allowed.

                   C#/C   C#/A#
             It'll do for me.

                 C#/G#     F#
             The walls get higher every day.

                      G#         C#/A#
             The barriers get in the way,

                       D#                           C#
             But I see hope in every cloud, and I'm thankful,

             G#/C#          B/C#         F#
             Thankful.  I'm thankful, so thankful;

                 D#m               B        G#    C#
             I'm thankful I've got all that I'm allowed.

Verse 2:             C#                          G#/C#
             Leaving town gets to feel just like a job.

                       B/C#                F#/C#
             My desire never winds up on top.

                              C#                G#/C#
             I can't say now I didn't want the moon.

                            B/C#
             It's out of reach:

                                   F#/C#
             Somewhere beyond this room.

                      Ebm                Ab
             I always hoped that I'd do better,

                      Ebm                  Ab
             That I'd come out on top for once.

                    F7/A              Bbm
             We all get what we're delivered,

                        Ebm            Ab
             Then there are the lucky ones.

                      C#
Chorus:  And I've got all that I'm allowed.

                   C#/C   C#/A#
             It'll do for me.

                 C#/G#     F#
             The walls get higher every day.

                      G#         C#/A#
             The barriers get in the way,

                       D#                           C#
             But I see hope in every cloud, and I'm thankful,

             G#/C#          B/C#         F#
             Thankful.  I'm thankful, so thankful;

             I'm thankful I've got all that I'm allowed.

Bridge:                    B                            F#
             I've always tried to make things clear.

                        A               E            F#
             Then I watched as progress stalled.

                      B                          F#
             I only hope I'm standing here

                         F#/E# D#m                 G#
             When heaven finally comes to call.

                      C#
Chorus:  And I've got all that I'm allowed.

                   C#/C   C#/A#
             It'll do for me.

                 C#/G#     F#
             The walls get higher every day.

                      G#         C#/A#
             The barriers get in the way,

                       D#                           C#
             But I see hope in every cloud, and I'm thankful,

             G#/C#          B/C#         F#
             Thankful.  I'm thankful, so thankful;

             I'm thankful I've got all that I'm allowed.

Outro:       G#/C#         B/C#         F#             D#m
