[Intro]
D Dmaj7 C G
[Verse 1]
D Well I, I woke up one morning Dmaj7 With everything I own around me Cmaj7 I had a pocket full of money G And a cold and empty heart D I spent a lifetime chasing rainbows Dmaj7 Watching life go by through windows Cmaj7 And I bet a rich man's fortune G On this worthless house and cars
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A It took me way too long to find Em That the best things in life are free A And the rest ain't worth a dime
[Chorus]
D I need more of what matters F#m7 Every moment that I have it G G C 'Cause it's all that you take with you when you go D If spinning wheels and climbing ladders F#m7 Is all there is, well, then I'd rather G Go to heaven empty-handed Gm Knowing that I got it right Em7 I need more of what matters A D Dmaj7 C More of what really matters in my life G And it got me thinking
[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7 Hey, whatever happened to sunshine and roses C G And walking down a dirt road on a lazy summer day? D Dmaj7 Or supper with the family after early church on Sunday? C G You know, ain't all that funny how the time just slips away?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A It took me way too long to find Em That the best things in life are free A And the rest ain't worth a dime
[Chorus]
D I need more of what matters F#m7 Every moment that I have it G G C 'Cause it's all that you take with you when you go D If spinning wheels and climbing ladders F#m7 Is all there is, well, then I'd rather G Go to heaven empty-handed Gm Knowing that I got it right Em7 I need more of what matters A C G D More of what really matters in my life
