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
?Cause I [D]don?t need boxes wrapped in strings
And des[G]igner love and empty things
Just a [A]chance that maybe [G]we?ll find better [D]days
Chorus :
So [G]take these words and [A]sing out loud
?Cause [G]everyone is for[A]given now
?Cause to[B]night?s the night the wo[G]rld begins again[D][D]
Verse:
And in [D]some place simple where we could live
And [G]something only you can give
And that?s [A]faith and trust and [G]peace while we?re ali[D]ve
And the one[D] poor child who saved this world
And there?s [G]ten million more who probably could
If we all[A] just stopped and said[G] a prayer for them[D]
Chorus :
So [G]take these words and [A]sing out loud
?Cause [G]everyone is for[A]given now
?Cause [B]tonight?s the night the [G]world begins again
