This life is no guarantee Right from the very start
[Bm] Takes all the blood inside your veins All the kindness in your heart
Don't [G] ask the moon how high you are He's [Gm] always looking down
[D] Don't sit in the dark too long [A] Sit in the sun when it comes out
[D] We all meet some funny birds Out there in the by and by
[Bm] Can't make them all love you [F#] There's no need to [B] wonder why
[G] When you're young you wanna be old [Gm] When you're old you wanna be young
[D] I wish you all the best [A] In case this life's the only one
Hope you [D] find it true, Lord Hope you make some dreams come true
I hope [Bm] you learn early that the love you give Comes right back to you
I hope [G] you get up every time you fall And you get back in again
[Bm] But if you only get [A] one thing, [G] that's a giving
[A] I hope you have [D] happy children
I hope you forgive your parents For the ways they messed you up
[Bm] I hope some of that was just their way Of trying to show you love
I [G] bet part of you is still that kid [Gm] Staring at your bedroom wall
[D] Wondering how the world's so big [A] And why you feel so small
[D] I hope you find it true, Lord Hope you make some dreams come true
I hope you [G] learn [Bm] early that the love you give Comes right back to you
[G] I hope you get up every time you fall And you get back in again
But if you only get one [G] thing, that's a giving
[A] I hope you have [D] happy children
Hope you got some money and a mattress And a roof over your head
And [Bm] every other thing that you ever need Is right inside your chest
[G] We might be all a little lost On [D] this great big ball we're spinning on
And we're probably just a speck of dust [A] That's why I hope we all
[D] Find our true north And make some dreams come true
I hope you [Bm] learn early that the love you give Comes right back to you
[G] I hope you get up every time you fall And you get back in again
