VERSE

Dsus2
And you ask me what I want this year
    Dsus2/G
And I try to make this kind and clear
       Asus4                        Dsus2/G
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Dsus2
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    Dsus2/G
And desire or love and empty things
       Asus4                        Dsus2/G     Dsus2
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

CHORUS

   Dsus2/G
So take these words
    Asus4
And sing out loud
    Dsus2/G      Asus4
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    Dsus2/B                Dsus2/G
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
