D 
And you ask me what I want this year 
          G 
And I try to make this kind and clear 
           A                                D 
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days 
          D 
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings 
             G 
And desire and love and empty things 
           A                                 D 
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days 
 
     G 
So take these words 
        A 
And sing out loud 
        G                  A 
Cuz everyone is forgiven now 
        Bm                   G             D 
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again 
 
              D 
And it's someplace simple where we could live 
        G 
And something only you can give 
  A                                              D 
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive 
             D 
And the one poor child that saved this world 
        G 
And there's 10 million more who probably could 
      A                                      D 
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them 
 
     G 
So take these words 
        A 
And sing out loud 
        G                   A 
Cuz everyone is forgiven now 
        Bm                   G            D 
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again 
  
(Base:  D G A D ) 
 
           D 
I wish everyone was loved tonight 
       G 
And somehow stop this fight 
         A                                  D 
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days 
 
     G 
So take these words 
        A 
And sing out loud 
         G               A 
Cuz everyone is forgiven now 
       Bm                   A             D     
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again 
       Bm                   A             D     
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
