[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][G]
[D][Em][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm [D]sorry for the things that I [G]told you
But [D]words only go so [G]far
And if I [D]had my way
I would [Em]reach into heaven
And I'd [Bm]pull you [C]down a [G]star for a present
And I'd [D]make you a chain out of [G]diamonds
And [Bm]pearls from a [C]summer [G]sea
But [D]all I can give you
is a [Em]kiss in the morning
And a [Bm]sweet [C]apology[G]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
Well, I [D]know that it hasn't been [G]easy
And I [D]haven't always been a[G]round
To [D]say the right words
Or to [Em]hold you in the mornin'
Or to [Bm]help you [C]when you're [G]down
I know I [D]never showed you much
of a [G]good time
But baby [Em]things are [C]gonna [G]change
I'm gonna [D]make up for all of the [Em]hurt I brought
I'm gonna [Bm]love away [C]all your [G]pain

[Chorus 1]
And to[D]morrow's gonna [Bm]be a brighter d[Em]ay
There's gonna [A]be some changes
[D]Tomorrow's gonna [Bm]be a brighter d[Em]ay
This [A]time you can believe me
[D]No more cryin' in your [G]lonely room
And [Em]no more em[C]pty ni[G]ghts
'Cause [D]tomorrow mornin'
[Em]everything will [A]turn out [D]right[G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Well, there's [D]something that I've got to [G]tell you
Yes I've [D]got something on my [G]mind
But [D]words come hard
When your [Em]lying in my arms
And when I'm [Bm]looking deep in[C]to your [G]eyes
But there's [D]truth and conso[G]lation
And [Em]what I'm [C]trying to [G]say
Is that [D]nobody ever had a [Em]rainbow baby
Un [Bm]til he [C]had the [G]rain

[Chorus 2]
And to[D]morrow's gonna [Bm]be a brighter d[Em]ay
There's gonna [A]be some changes
[D]Tomorrow's gonna [Bm]be a brighter d[Em]ay
This [A]time you can believe me
[D]No more cryin' in your [G]lonely room
And [Em]no more em[C]pty ni[G]ghts
'Cause [D]tomorrow mornin'
[Em]everything will [A]turn out

[Outro 1]
[D](right) [G]Mmh
It's [D]gonna, it's [G]gonna,
it's gonna, [D]be a brighter [G]day
It's [D]gonna, it's [G]gonna,
it's gonna [D]be a brighter [G]day
It's [D]gonna, it's [G]gonna,
it's gonna [D]be a brighter [G]day
It's [D]gonna, it's gonna [G]be shine
it's gonna [D]be a brighter [G]day
[D]Mmh
Come on [G]tomorrow
Come on [D]tomorrow
It's gonna be a [G]brighter day
[D]Mmh[G][D]
