Lyrics

It (G)don’t have a job,

don’t (G)pay your bills,

won’t buy you a home in Bev er ly Hills.

Won’t (G)fix your life

in (G)five eas y steps.

Ain’t the law of the land or the gov ern ment,

but it’s (G)all

(C)you (G7)need.

And love

will

hold us to geth er, make us a shel ter to weath er the storm.

And I’ll

be my broth er’s keep er so the (C)whole world will know that we’re not a lone.

It’s (G)wait ing for you,

knock ing (G)at your door

in the mo ment of truth when your heart hits the floor

and you’re a lone.

This is the first

(G)day of the (Am)rest of your life.

This is the (C)first

(G)day of the (Am)rest of your life.

’Cause (C)e ven in the (E7)dark, you can (Am)still see the light.

It’s gon na be al right, it’s gon na be al right.

This is the first

(G)day of the (Am)rest of your life.

This is the (C)first

(G)day of the (Am)rest of your life.

’Cause (C)e ven in the (E7)dark, you can (Am)still see the light.

It’s gon na be al right, it’s gon na be al right.

This is the right.

And love

will

hold us to geth er, make us a shel ter to weath er the storm.

And I’ll

be my broth er’s keep er so the (C)whole world will know that we’re not (Dm7)a (C)lone.
