Verse :
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
D
‘Cause I don’t need boxes wrapped in strings
G
And designer love and empty things
A G D
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
Chorus :
G A
So take these words and sing out loud
G A
‘Cause everyone is forgiven now
B G D D
‘Cause tonight’s the night the world begins again
Verse:
D
And in some place simple where we could live
G
And something only you can give
A G D
And that’s faith and trust and peace while we’re alive
D
And the one poor child who saved this world
G
And there’s ten million more who probably could
A G D
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
Chorus :
G A
So take these words and sing out loud
G A
‘Cause everyone is forgiven now
B G
‘Cause tonight’s the night the world begins again
