[Intro]
A E F#m D
[Verse]
A * E *
There are days when I feel so afraid
F#m * D *
I can hardly remember to breathe
A * E *
When reality crashes in wave after wave
F#m * D *
Pulling me further beneath
A E
So what's the point in planning for a future
F#m D
If it all can be stolen away
A E
It's all I can do to hold on and survive
F#m D
When the colors have faded to grey
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
But my children need so much more from me
C D
And they give me the strength to go on
D *
Whatever may come
[Chorus]
G C D
All that matters now
G C D
Is where I go from here
Em C
There's an easier way
D G
If I live for today
G C D
The beating of my heart
C
Is all that matters
[Verse 2]
A E
He makes sense of all of my chaos
F#m D
In ways I can never explain
A E
He turns all of my sadness into a smile
F#m D
He's helping me live life again
A E
It's the light in the eyes of my children
F#m D
It's the sound of their laughter once more
A E
It's a glimpse of a life I dared only to dream
F#m D
And a dream only life could restore
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C
And I know that some
G
May not understand
C D
But he's guiding me safely to shore
D
Not afraid anymore
[Chorus]
G C D
All that matters now
G C D
Is where we go from here
Em C
There's an easier way
D G
If I live for today
G C D
The singing in my heart
G * G * C * C * D
Is all that matters
[Chorus 2]
G C D
It takes me far away
Em C
There's an easier way
D G
If I live for today
G C D
The singing in my heart
D * **
Is all that
Matters
[Outro]
G * C * D * D * G
