All At Once

Jack Johnson

 

Note: [Dm] lasts for 1 beat

 

Intro: / Am - - - / C - - - / F - - Dm / C - - - /

 

       Am

All at once

                    C

The world can overwhelm me

                                       F

There’s almost nothing that you could tell me

           [Dm]     C

That could ease my mind

 

                    Am

Which way will you run?

                       C

When it’s always all around you

                          F

And the feeling lost and found you again

                  [Dm]     C

A feeling that we have no control

 

            Am

Around the sun, some say

                          C

It’s going to be the new hell, some say

                         F

It’s still too early to tell, some say

                             Dm     C

Some say it really ain’t no myth at all

 

 

Dm (1/2)              G (1/2)

   We keep asking ourselves

             C (1/2)   F (1/2)

Are we really strong enough?

Dm (1/2)              G (1/2)

   There’re so many things

           C (1/2)       F

That we got too proud of

          Dm            G

Too proud of, too proud of

 

           C (1/2)

I want to take the preconceived

           G (1/2)

Out from underneath your feet

        F (1/2)

We could shake it off

                   C (1/2)

And instead we’ll plant some seeds

       C (1/2)

We’ll watch them as they grow

          G (1/2)

And with each new beat

 

            F (1/2)

From your heart the roots grow deeper

      C (1/2)                       F

The branches, well they reach for what?

 

                C

Nobody really knows

F

  But underneath it all

                         C

There’s this heart all alone

F (1/2)                 Fm (1/2)

  What about when it’s gone?

C (1/2)                  E (1/2)

  It really won’t be so long

              F (1/2)

Sometimes it feels like a heart

        G (1/2)                     

Is no place to be singing from at all

 

/ C - G - / F - C - / x2

 

           C (1/2)

There’s a world we’ve never seen

               G (1/2)

There’s still hope between the dreams

      F (1/2)                C (1/2)

The weight of it all could blow away with a breeze

               C (1/2)

But if you’re waiting on the wind

G (1/2)

Don’t forget to breathe

                  F (1/2)

Because as the darkness gets deeper

       C (1/2)                 F

We’re sinking so we reach for love

 

                           C

At least something we can hold

           F

But I’ll reach to you

                           C

From where time just can’t go

F (1/2)                 Fm (1/2)

  What about when it’s gone?

C (1/2)                  E (1/2)

  It really won’t be so long

              F (1/2)

Sometimes it feels like a heart

        G (1/2 hold)                     

Is no place to be singing from at all

 

/ C - G - / F - C (hold) /
