John Mellencamp – It All Comes True (Guitar)

Em                          D        
I stand here a black man  I have no history

                                        Em
I was brought up in East Chicago And I grew up on the streets

                                            D
The chains around the playground were the chains around My heart

                                   Em
The brand upon my shoulder Well it reminds You who You are

                 D                     Em
And it all comes true Yes it all comes true

       D                                Em
Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on You

        C                   D               Em
And You think, What have I done? What can I do?

         C                 D
What You believe about Yourself

             Em
It all comes true

Em                          D    
I was just a young girl My mother called me 'Hon'

                                Em
My father was unhappy 'Cause I should have been His son

                                        D
They said, "Learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife

                                        Em
And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life"

                 D                     Em
And it all comes true Yes it all comes true

       D                                Em
Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on You

        C                   D               Em
And You think, What have I done? What can I do?

         C                 D
What You believe about Yourself

             Em
It all comes true

   Em                           D           
My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire

                                  Em
I drag My heart across the ash to throw it on the fire

                           D
Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan

                            Em
Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand

                 D                      Em
And it all comes true. Yes it all comes true

       D                                Em
Like a wheel around a wheel It turns on You

        C                   D               Em
And You think, What have I done? What can I do?

         C                 D
What You believe about Yourself

             Em
It all comes true

                  D                     Em
yeah it all comes true Yes it all comes true

       D                                Em
Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on You

        C                   D               Em
And You think, What have I done? What can I do?

         C                 D
What You believe about Yourself

             Em ..
It all comes true
