VERSE 
         Em    C         D          G 
She wore faded jeans and soft black leather 
        Em      C         D           | C | % | % | % | 
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather 
         Em     C    D      G 
When she needed me I wasn't round 
           Em     C           D          | G | % | % | % | 
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out 
 
VERSE 
           Em     C                D       G 
There were times apart, there were times together 
      Em         C       D        | C | % | % | % | 
I was pledged to her for worse or better 
        Em       C      D       G 
When it mattered most I let her down 
           Em     C           D          | G | % | % | % | 
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out 
 
CHORUS 
      C             D     G 
It’ll all work out eventually 
       C                 D 
Better off with him than here with me

It’ll all work out eventually

Maybe better with him than here with me 
 
VERSE 
        Em      C            D       G 
Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy 
        Em      C      D      | C | % | % | % | 
And the water's rising in the levee 
        Em       C            D        G 
Still I think of her when the sun goes down 
         Em    C           D        | C | % | % | % | 
It never goes away, but it all works out
