Elton John 'All that I'm Allowed' Intro: ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) Verse 1: / Breaking down never seems to be that hard. / Falling short is always in the cards. / Among the road, sun rising up my back, / Lost it all somewhere between the cracks. I always hoped that I'd do better. That I'd come out on top for once. We all get what we're delivered. Then there are the lucky ones. Chorus: And I've got all that I'm allowed. / / It'll do for me. I'm thankful now. / The walls get higher everyday. / The barriers get in the way, But I see hope in every cloud, and I'm thankful, / Thankful. I'm thankful, so thankful; I'm thankful I've got all that I'm allowed. Verse 2: / Leaving town gets to feel just like a job. / My desire never winds up on top. / I can't say now I didn't want to moon. It's out of reach: / Somewhere beyond this room. I always hoped that I'd do better, That I'd come out on top for once. We all get what we're delivered, Then there are the lucky ones. -Repeat chorus- Bridge: I've always tried to make things clear. Then I watched as progress stalled. I only hope I'm standing here / When heaven finally comes to call. -Repeat chorus- Instrument break / / / / Outro: / Thankful, I'm thankful, so thankful. I'm thankfull, / / / I've got all that I'm allowed. / / / All that I'm allowed. / / / I'm thankful, and I've got all that I'm allowed.
