Hayes Carll – What It Is chords

[Intro]
F  C  G  x2

[Verse 1]
   G                               DMy heart was way too empty and the damage done too deep
   F                 C               GTo stay here for the breaking of the day
   G                          DMy compass is in pieces and I don't know what I see
F               C         GI'm not sure it matters anyway

[Chorus]
               D              G'Cause what it was is gone forever
        D                  CWhat it could be, God only knows
            G                   CAnd what it is is right here in front of me
    G       D       GAnd I'm not letting go

[Verse 2]
G                           DJust across the border from what I used to be
F                C               GI still hear the slamming of the door
        G                         DAnd the future holds a promise it doesn't have to keep
    F                 C         GBut it might not need keeping anymore

[Chorus]
               D              G'Cause what it was is gone forever
        D                  CWhat it could be, God only knows
            G                   CAnd what it is is right here in front of me
    G       D       GAnd I'm not letting go

[Verse 3]
G                            DI can hear the laughter as I make another plan
F              C                GSet out like a fool towards the sea
G                           DEvery wave that crashes rearranges all the sand
    F            C                GAnd puts another path in front of me

[Chorus]
               D              G'Cause what it was is gone forever
        D                  CWhat it could be, God only knows
            G                   CAnd what it is is right here in front of me
    G       D       GAnd I'm not letting go
        G                   CWhat it is is right here in front of me
    G       D       F  C  GAnd I'm not letting go
