[Cmaj7] [Em7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Cmaj7] Woke up this morning, sun shining bright,
Grab [Em7] me a coffee and feeling alright.
The [Dm7] world's got troubles, that's plain to see,
But I'm [G7] just one soul, it ain't all on me.
[Cmaj7] Millions of questions, answers like dust,
But I'll find [Em7] comfort in what I can trust.
[Dm7] Take a step back, breathe in the air,
[G7] Life's a journey, with love to share.
'Cos you [C] can't change the course of a [Cmaj7] river,
[Em7] Can't move the clouds in the sky,
The [Dm7] wind's gonna blow where the wind's gonna go,
So [G] don't waste your wondering [G7] why.
You [C] don't need to carry the [Cmaj7] weight of the world,
Or [Em7] hold every wrong to account,
Just [Dm7] smile for the man and do what you can,
And the [G7] rest can work itself ou- ou [Cmaj7]-out.
[Cmaj7] [Em7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Cmaj7] Dance in a meadow, run with the breeze,
Join [Em7] hands with the flowers, move how you please.
There's [Dm7] magic in kindness, it's simple, just start,
A [G7] thought for a stranger , you're playing your part.
It's not [C] all on your shoulders, [Cmaj7] just let it be,
The [Em7] secret to living, is no mystery.
[Dm7] Look for the smiles, let joy be a sign,
Lets [G] make the world better, one day at a time.
But you [C] can't change the course of a [Cmaj7] river,
[Em7] Can't move the clouds in the sky,
The [Dm7] wind's gonna blow where the wind's gonna go,
So [G] don't waste your wondering [G7] why.
You [C] don't need to carry the [Cmaj7] weight of the world,
Or [Em7] hold every wrong to account,
Just [Dm7] stick to the plan and do what you can,
And the [G7] rest can work itself out
So [F] whisper your hopes to the [G]stars up above,
And [Em] watch as the universe [Am] dances with love.
Tell [F] someone you love them, [G] stay for a while,
In a [Em] world full of sorrow, be the [Am] one with a smile.
[F] Kindness is currency, [G] let your heart pay,
The [Em] more that you give, the more [Am] comes your [F] way.
'Cos you [C] can't change the course of a [Cmaj7] river,
[Em7] Can't move the clouds in the sky,
The [Dm7] wind's gonna blow where the wind's gonna go,
So [G] don't waste your wondering [G7] why.
You [C] don't need to carry the [Cmaj7] weight of the world,
Or [Em7] hold every wrong to account,
Just [Dm7] stick to the plan and do what you can,
And the [G] rest can work itself ou-[G7]ou [C]-out.
{c: Fade to end}
[Em7] [Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [Em7] [Dm7] [G7]
