Chords

Noticed that the other tabs for this song are a little.... incomplete. The difficult thing about the song is she has done many different versions with many different variations on the lyrics, but the chords stay the same. I am using the latest version off "I speak because I can" [Intro] Am C G (x2) [Verse]
    Am         C
Well I own this feel 

    Am        C
And I rode the sky 

    Am        C         E           F
And I have no reason to reason with you 

       Am                         C
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you lowered, 

      G                                 Am
but I understand that I'd never let it go 

                                  C
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,

      G                                 Am
But I understand the world does what it does 

    F             C            G
You never did learn to let the little things go, 

        F            C            G
And you never did learn to let me be. 

        F            C          G
And you never did learn to let little people grow, 

    F            C         G
You never did learn how to see. 

      Am                           C
But I whisper that I love this man now and for forever, 

        G                             Am
To your soul as it floats out of the window. 

       F              C           G
To the world that you turned your back on, 

       F              C               G
To the world that never really let you be. 

     Am             C
I am lower now, and lower still, 

            F               C               G
And you did always say that one day I would suffer, 

        F               C                G
You did always say that people get their pay, 

        F               C             G
You did always say that I was going places, 

             F                C         G
And that you wouldn't have it any other way. 
[Chorus]
      Am                         C
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, 

                         G
For what I like wouldn't let me, 

      Am                         C
But i couldn't turn my back on a world,

                   G 
For what I like anyday 
Instrumental break (not here in every version) - Carry on same chords
      Am                         C
And I couldn't turn my back on a world,

                         G 
for what I like wouldn't let me

      Am                         C 
And I couldn't turn my back on a world, 

                 G
for what I like I needed 

      Am                  
And I shouldn't turn my back,

     C                        G       C     G
