The Only Thing I Have Left Chords & Lyrics - George Strait

[G]Some people say I'm [D]one of those guys with the [C]blessings in life over [G]looked
Sometimes I feel like the [D]tatter torn pages of [C]some old paper [D]back book
All the [C]places I've played and the [D]money I've made [Em]still I've got nothing to [C]show
And the [G]only thing that [D]I have left in the [C]whole wide [D]world is [G]you [Dm] [C]

You [G]put your whole life into [D]somethin' you love and you [C]never get that one big [G]break
That'll take you out of the [D]back street bars and [C]put you on center [D]stage
But a [C]million tears and a [D]million beers have [Em]just about washed me [C]up
And the [G]only thing that [D]I have left in the [C]whole wide [D]world is [G]you [G7]

I [C]gave it all I [D]had every [G]night for all these [C]years
[Am]Pourin' out [D]my soul 'til it was [G]gone [G7]
I [C]spread myself so [D]thin and I'm just [G]barely [Am]hang [Bm]in' [C]on
But tonight I'm with you and you can [D]carry me through
Just [Em]lo [D]ve [C]me
'Cuz the [G]only thing that [D]I have left in the [C]whole wide [D]world is [G]you
I [C]gave it all I [D]had every [G]night for all these [C]years
[Am]Pourin' out [D]my soul 'til it was [G]gone [G7]
I [C]spread myself so [D]thin and I'm just [G]barely [Am]hang [Bm]in' [C]on
But tonight I'm with you and you can [D]carry me through
Just [Em]lo [D]ve [C]me
'Cuz the [G]only thing that [D]I have left in the [C]whole wide [D]world is [G]you
