Lyrics

No mat ter what they tell us,

no mat ter what they (Bm)do,

no mat ter what they (D)teach (E)us,

what we (E)be lieve is (A)true.

No mat ter what they call us,

how ev er they at (Bm)tack,

no mat ter where they (D)take us,

we’ll find (E)our own way back.

I can’t de ny what I be lieve,

I can’t be what I’m not.

I know our love’s for (D)ev er,

I know no (E7)mat ter what.

If on ly tears were laugh ter,

if on ly night was (Bm)day,

if on ly prayers were (D)an (E)swered,

then we (E)would hear God (A)say:

No mat ter what they tell you,

no mat ter what they (Bm)do,

no mat ter what they (D)teach you,

what you (E)be lieve is true.

And I will keep you safe and strong

and shel tered from the storm.

No mat ter where it’s (D)bar ren,

our dream is (E7)be ing born.

No mat ter who they fol low,

no mat ter where they (Dm)lead,

no mat ter how they (F)judge (G7)us,

(Gsus)I’ll be ev ’ry (G7)one you need.

No mat ter if the sun don’t shine,

or if the skies are blue,

no mat ter what the (F)end ing,

my life be (G7)gan with (C)you.

I can’t de ny what I be lieve,

I can’t be what I’m not.

I know this love’s for (G7)ev er.

That’s all that mat ters now no mat ter what.

No no mat ter No no no.

ter No no mat ter No no no.

ter No no mat ter No no no.

ter what.
