Goo Goo Dolls is an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York, USA by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac initially under the name the Sex Maggots (the new name was chosen from an ad in True Detective magazine at the behest of a local club owner). They are most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals) and Robby Takac (vocals, bass).

[Verse] And you ask me what I want this year And I try to make this kind and clear Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
D ‘Cause I don’t need boxes wrapped in strings G And designer love and empty things AGD Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
[Chorus] GA So take these words and sing out loud GA ‘Cause everyone is forgiven now BGDD ‘Cause tonight’s the night the world begins again
[Verse] D And in some place simple where we could live G And something only you can give AGD And that’s faith and trust and peace while we’re alive
D And the one poor child who saved this world G And there’s ten million more who probably could AGD If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
[Chorus] GA So take these words and sing out loud GA ‘Cause everyone is forgiven now BmG ‘Cause tonight’s the night the world begins again
[Solo] (another guitar arrangement for this part) :
[Bridge] D I wish everyone was loved tonight G And some might stop this endless fight AGD Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
[Chorus] GA So take these words and sing out loud GA ‘Cause everyone is forgiven now BmGD ‘Cause tonight’s the night the world begins again BmGD ‘Cause tonight’s the night the world begins again
