Intro: D A F#m G
[D]It's been a long time coming that I had to say
[A]When I wake up in the morning all I do is pray
[F#m]For some guidance and protection on the streets today
[G]And an answer to the questions I ask everyday
[D]So tell me why do the birds that used to fly here
[A]Tell me why do they come to die here?
[F#m]And all the kids that used to run here
[G]Tell me why do they load their guns here?
[D]I remember in the days when
[A]We were one heart, no need to defend
[Em]I just wrap my arms around you
[G]Don't give up, this song is for you
[D]Hey, hey, hey
[A]No matter how life is today
[F#m]There's just one thing that I got to say
[G]I won't let another moment slip away
[D]I say hey, hey, hey
[A]No matter how life is today
[Em]There's just one thing that I got to say
[G]I won't let another moment slip away
I hold on[D], I'm trying to hold o[A]n
I hol[F#m]d on, hold on, hold on[G]
[D]From the tops of the buildings to the streets below
[A]Between the Wall Street banks and the empty homes
[F#m]Between the lines of the people standing all in a row
[G]There's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows
[D]Reminding me that everything is possible
[A]Yeah, reminding me that nothing is impossible
[Em]You gotta live for the one that you love you know
[G]You gotta love for the life that you live you know
[D]Singing hey, hey, hey
[A]No matter how life is today
[F#m]There's just one thing that I got to say
[G]I won't let another moment slip away
[D]I'll sing hey, hey, hey
[A]No matter how life is today
[F#m]There's just one thing that I got to say
[G]I won't let another moment slip away
I hold [F#m]on, I'm trying to hold on[D]
I hold [F#m]on, I'm trying to hold on[D]
Until the [F#m]morning comes again
I will rem[D]ain with you my friend
And we will[A] ride until the sun
Goes to the[A] place where it begun
And we will[A] live to laugh and cry another day
[D]Don't let nobody ever tell you that it couldn't be done
[A]Don't let nobody ever tell you that we couldn't be one
[Em]Don't let nobody ever tell you that it shouldn't be sung
[G]Don't let nobody ever tell you you're the only one
[D]Singing hey, hey, hey
[A]No matter how life is today
