VERSE


And you ask me what I want this year
    /
And I try to make this kind and clear
                               /
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    /
And desire or love and empty things
                               /     
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days


CHORUS

   /
So take these words
    
And sing out loud
    /      
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    /                /
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again


VERSE 2

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

CHORUS

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again


BRIDGE (switch the B string from C# to D back and forth on all chords)

VERSE 3 (CONTINUE C#, D thing from bridge)

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days


CHORUS

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
