^CNothing left but ^Empromises, ^Fnothing much is ^Ccertain C /B Am /G D/F# All we see is want and need across the board. Why ^G/Fthank you, Lord We're ^Cliving in the ^Fglory of your ^Gsus4care ^{G E}Skies of blue have ^Amall ^C/Gturned ^D/F#brown to the sound of ^Gsighing ^G/FLord, ab^Cide; let us ^E7stem the ^Amtide ^C/Gof b^D/F#roken dreams Som^G/Fetimes you seem to ^Ctell us it's too ^Fla^Gsus4te ^G for ^Cpraying ^G
