Just a chance that may be we’ll find bet ter days. ’Cause I don’t need box es wrapped in strings and de sign er love and emp ty things. Just a chance that may be we’ll find bet ter days. So (G5)take these words and (A5)sing out loud ’cause (G5)ev ’ry one is for (A5)giv en now. ’Cause to night’s the night the world be gins a gain. I need some place sim ple where we could live and some thin’ on ly you can give and that’s faith and trust and peace while we’re a live. And the one poor child who saved this world and there’s ten mil lion more who prob a bly could if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them. So I wish ev ’ry one was loved to night and some how stop this end less fight. Just a chance that may be we’ll find bet ter days. So (G5)take these words and (A5)sing out loud ’cause (G5)ev ’ry one is for (A5)giv en now. ’Cause to night’s the night the world be gins a gain. ’Cause to night’s the night the world be gins a gain.
