Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
All  the Kings  and Queens in  the bible, they  could not  turn back time.
So  what chance  have I of  a miracle, in this  life of mine.
I  only want one day
to  unsay the things I've said,  un-do  that thing I did. 24  little hours.
Oh  God, please wipe them all away  and I promise  I will change.
If  I could start  today again.
I know  I'm not the  milk and honey  kind, today  I proved  it true.
When  the red  mist falls around  my eyes, I know  not what I do.
Please  give me back today
and  I won't say the things I said  or do  that thing I did.
Every  minute, every hour  the replay's just the same
 and I  can't stand the shame.
Oh,  let me start  today again.
 --  --  --  --  --
I  only want one day, one  lousy day that's all  of everyday  that's been before
Since  time began,  I know my prayer's in vain  but for a second  I'll pretend
that  I can start  today again.
