(F)Some

(Fmaj7)days

(Bb)we (C)for (Bb)get to (F)look

(Fmaj7)a (C7)round

us; It’s (F)some

(Fmaj7)days

(Bb)we (C)can’t (Bb)see the (F)joy

(Fmaj7)that sur (Bbmaj7)rounds

(C7)us.

So caught up in (Fmaj7)side our selves,

we take when we should (C7sus)give.

So for to (F)night,

we (Bb6)pray

for

what we know can (Bb)be.

And (C)on this (F)day

we (Bb6)hope

for

what we still can’t (Bb)see.

(F)It’s (Bb)up (C)to (Dm)us

to (C)be the (Bb)change,

and (F)e ven though we all can still do (Bbm6)more,

there’s so much to be (Bbmaj7)thank

(C7)ful

(Bb)for.

(F)Look

(Fmaj7)be

(Bb)yond (C)our (Bb)selves; there’s (F)so

(Fmaj7)much (C7)sor

row.

It’s (F)way

(Fmaj7)too

(Bb)late (C)to (Bb)say, “I’ll (F)cry

(Fmaj7)to sur (Bbmaj7)mor

(C7)row.”

Each of us must (Fmaj7)find our truth,

we so long o ver (C7sus)due.

So for to (F)night,

we (Bb6)pray

for

what we know can (Bb)be.

And (C)ev ’ry (F)day

we (Bb6)hope

for

what we still can’t (Bb)see.

(F)It’s (Bb)up (C)to (Dm)us

to (C)be the (Bb)change,

and (F)e ven though we all can still do (Bbm6)more,

there’s so much to be (Bbmaj7)thank

(C7)ful

(Bb)for.

(F)for.

(Bb)E ven with our (F)dif f’renc es, (Gm7)there is a (Gm6)place we’re (F7)all con nect ed; (Bb)each of us can (F)find each oth er’s (Db)light.

So for to night,

we (Cmaj7)pray

(C6)for

what we know can (C)be.

And on this (G)day,

we (Cmaj7)hope

(C6)for

what we still can’t (C)see.

(G)It’s (C)up (D)to (Em)us

to (D)be the (C)change,

and (G)e ven though this world needs so much (Cm6)more,

there’s so much to be (Dsus)thank

(D7)ful
