Bbm7 Ab Db Gb
Bbm7 Ab Db Gb

[Chorus]
Db
How many times
                         Bbm7
Have you heard them say:
                         Gb
“The future is uncertain
                            Ebm7
And everything must change”

                     Db
But all of my worries
                   Ebm7
And all of my fears
                          Ab
Begin to lose their weight
                    Db
When I hold you near

[Verse]
If all that we are
                   Bbm7
Is what we believe
                       Gb
Then I know I gotta be
                       Ebm7
The change I wanna see

                   Db
How easy we forget
                           Ebm7
That everything takes time
                           Ab
No, nothing's ever perfect
                          Bbm
But I still call you mine

Ab Db Gb Db


Through all the years
                     Bbm7
Every lesson learned
                                   Gb
When each word can’t be a blessing
                     Ebm7
To listen is to love

                           Db
Can we afford to be kinder
                         Ebm7
To others and ourselves?
                                 Ab
There’s always room at the table
                        Db
And water from the well

Bbm7 Ab Db Gb

[Bridge]
           Db
And I know
                            Bbm7
A house doesn’t make a home
                             Ebm7
But you’re never really lost
                       Gb
When you’re never alone

      Db
And I know
                       Fm
A house doesn’t make a home
        Ebm7
May the stories that bind us
         Db                 Bb
Give new strength for us to hope
        Ebm7
I’ll be living for the day
          Ab                  Bbm Ab Db Gbmaj7
Where our differences make us whole

Bbm Ab Db Gbmaj7 Db

[Chorus]
How many times
                        Bbm7
Have you heard them say:
                         Gb
“The future is uncertain
