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  
  

           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
