[Verse 1]
Bbmaj9
The child was given food
Ebm9
But did not eat it
Bbmaj9
The child was given shelter
Ebm9
But did not sleep in it
Bbmaj9
The child was given love
Ebm9
But did not take
Dm9 Dm7
The child was shown a path, hm
Gm7
That he could not make
Bbmaj9
The boy was given hope
Ebm9
But hope prevailed him
Bbmaj9
The boy was given a chance
Ebm9
But that chance failed him
Bbmaj9
The boy was given love
Ebm9
But did not take
Am7 Dm7
The boy was shown a path, hm
Gm7
That he could not make
[Chorus]
Ebmaj9 Dm9 Gm7
But he was hoping for the better
Ebmaj9 Dm9 Gm9
Just like another man would do, no
Ebmaj9 Dm9 Gm7
But now it's only rainy weather
Cmaj7
Nothing's new
Bbmaj7 F13
What to do
[Verse 2]
Bbmaj9
See the mornings come
Ebm9
But he don't see the morning sun
Bbmaj9
So he waits
He don't wait
Ebm9
He don't wait for the morning's love
[Bridge]
Gm7
See the morning has come
Cm9
And the dark night will go
Gm7
But still theres no sun
Cm9
Just the mystic still shows
Gm7
And I'm feeling your shine
Cm9
Just this rhythm inside
Cmaj7
Yet still he hopes
C7 Fmaj7 F13
Everything will be alright
[Solo]
Bbmaj9 Ebm9 (x3)
Am7 Dm7 Gm7
[Chorus]
Ebmaj9 Dm9 Gm7
But he was hoping for the better
Ebmaj9 Dm9 Gm9
Just like another man would do, no
Ebmaj9 Dm9 Gm7
But now it's only rainy weather
Cmaj7
Nothing's new
Bbmaj7 F13
What to do
Bbmaj9
When the morning comes
