 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

 ‘Cause I [D]don’t need boxes wrapped in strings
 And des[G]igner love and empty things
 Just a [A]chance that maybe [G]we’ll find better [D]days

  So [G]take these words and [A]sing out loud
 ‘Cause [G]everyone is for[A]given now
 ‘Cause to[B]night’s the night the wo[G]rld begins again[D]          [D]

 And in [D]some place simple where we could live
 And [G]something only you can give
 And that’s [A]faith and trust and [G]peace while we’re ali[D]ve

 And the one[D] poor child who saved this world
 And there’s [G]ten million more who probably could
 If we all[A] just stopped and said[G] a prayer for them[D]

  So [G]take these words and [A]sing out loud
 ‘Cause [G]everyone is for[A]given now
 ‘Cause [B]tonight’s the night the [G]world begins again

 I wish [D]everyone was loved tonight
 And so[G]me might stop this endless fight
 Just a ch[A]ance that maybe we’[G]ll find better days[D]

  So [G]take these words and [A]sing out loud
 ‘Cause [G]everyone is for[A]given now
 ‘Cause to[B]night’s the night the wo[G]rld begins again[D]
 ‘Cause to[B]night’s the night the wo[G]rld begins again[D]
