Biografia:
For 25 years Michael McLean has been changing lives with his tender songs and candid messages. He has shared the “hard stories” — those from his own life and those of others — and has sung us all the way to light at the end of the tunnel. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that for every person, twist, or turn along life’s path, Michael McLean has the perfect song.
McLean released his debut album, You’re Not Alone, in 1983 and with every song that followed, his lyrics filled voids, encouraged love, and offered hope.

[Intro]
D – C – G
[Verse 1]
D C G
I took a snapshot of my life
D C G
But the exposure was all wrong
D C B7 Em
I couldn't see a thing developing
C D
It's been that way too long
[Verse 2]
D C G
So I have come with a request
D C G
Though part of me thinks I'm insane
D C B7 Em
But I'm determined to see this thing through
C Cm
And I will not complain
[Chorus 1]
G Bm Dm7 Em
Take my life and turn it into something better
C D G D
Choose anyway you will
G Bm Dm7 Em
Take this shack, break down the walls and build a palace
C D G
Up on a higher hill
[Verse 2]
D C G
I thought I knew where I should go and try
D C G
To get there on my own
D C B7 Em
I took the easy roads and now I know
C Cm
I'm lost and all alone
[Chorus 2]
G Bm Dm7 Em
Take my life and turn it into something useful
C D G D
Don't stop until your done
G Bm Dm7 Em
Take these eyes, and make them see a clearer vision
C D G
Of what I can become
[Bridge]
C Cm
And on those days, when I think I'm dying
G Em
I'll trust in you and keep on trying
C Am
And if you pick this road, I'll take it
C Cm
'Cause with you as my guide, I know I can make it
[Chorus 3]
G Bm Dm7 Em
Take my life and make it one that is worth living
C D G D
Don't stop until your through
G Bm Dm7 Em
Take this life, the one that I am freely giving
[Outro]
C Cm
I give it all, I give it all
G Em
I give it all to you
C Cm D-C-Cm
I give it all, I give it all
G
To you
