[G]Do you wonder why you [C]have to
Feel the things that [Em]hurt you
If there?s a God who [C]loves you where is[D] He now

And all those things are [Em]happening
To bring a better [C]ending
Someday [D]somehow you?ll [C]see, you?ll [D]see

[G] Would you dare, would you dare to [D/F#]believe
[Em] That you still have a reason [G/B]to sing

[D] It can?t compare to the joy that?s coming
[G] So hold on, you gotta wait for [D/F#]the light

[C] Cause the pain that you?ve been feeling
[D] It?s just the dark before the morning

Verse 2:
[G]My friend you know how this [C]all ends
You know where you?re [Em]going
You just don?t know how you?ll [C]get there

But life is not a [Em]snapshot
It might take a little [C]time but you?ll see the [D]bigger picture
