LEAD-IN: ( F C ) ( G ) C ( Am7 G )
( F C ) ( F C )
You can hear praise and insults mere mortals can't sense.
( F Am7 ) ( Dm7 G )
you can talk about the weather and yet take offense,
( F C ) ( G7 Am7 )
you can meet cancer patients and discuss your cold sores,
( F C ) ( G Am7 )
and anybody's stories can be topped by yours.
CHORUS:
F ( G C )
'Cause it's all about you, whatever it is.
F ( D7 G )
You're the reason the universe has to exist.
( F ) C ( Em7 Am )
If your world seems small, it's probably true
( F C ) ( G ) C ( Am7 G )
'cause everything's always all about you.
So you got behind a pileup on the highway last night,
and you had to wait an hour while the cops cleared the site
an' the ambulances carried a family away,
but to hear you tell the story you suffered more than they,
CHORUS
G ( F ) C
Anything anyone can say or do,
( Am Dm ) ( G ) C
once said, once done, it's all about you.
I was findin' you a gift that couldn't go wrong,
so I got out my guitar an' I wrote you this song.
It'll never win applause from critics, it's true
but you'll love it because it's all about you.
CHORUS
