some[D]how[Esus4][D][Em]
[D]It's for [Em]bet ter or [C]worse
It's for [G]people who [Em]thirst
[C]For [Am]a love that burns [D]brighter
right [C]now[G][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]And it shines on [D]and on 'til all
[Em]sadness is [Dm]gone

[Verse 3]
There were [G]things that were [C]said
There were [G]things that were [Em]done
[Am]And a wife cannot [C]stand
too much [D]pain[Em]

[D]Wit[Em]h a smile on my lip[C]s and a
[G]tear in [Em]my eye
[Am]Everything will [D]be fine by and [C]by[Am][G]

[Verse 5]
And [G]it shines on and on 'til
all sadness is gone
And if children [D]had wings I would sing
them this song
With a smile on my face and a
tear in my eye
[Em]Everything will be fine by and by

[Verse 6]
And it shines on and on 'til all [Dm]sadness is
gone
And if [C]children had [G]wings I
[Am]would sing [C]them this [D]song[Em]
[D]Wit[Em]h a smile on my fac[C]e
and a [G]tear in my [Em]eye
[Am]Everything will [D]be fine by and [C]by[Am]
