[G]Do you wonder why you [C]have to
Feel the things that [Em]hurt you
If thereâ??s a God wh[C]o loves you where [D]is He now
[G]Maybe there are things you [C]canâ??t see
And all those things are [Em]happening
To bring a better [C]ending
Someday [D]somehow youâ??l[C]l see, youâ?[D]?ll see

Chorus:
[G] Would you dare, would you dare to [D/F#]believe
[Em] That you still have a reason [G/B]to sing
[C] Cause the pain that youâ??ve been feeling
[D] It canâ??t compare to the joy thatâ??s coming
[G] So hold on, you gotta wait for [D/F#]the light
[Em] Press on and just fight the [G/B]good fight
[C] Cause the pain that youâ??ve been feeling
[D] Itâ??s just the dark before the morning

Verse 2:
[G]My friend you know how this [C]all ends
You know where youâ??r[Em]e going
You just donâ??t know how youâ?[C]?ll get there
So say a [D]prayer

But life is not a [Em]snapshot
It might take a little [C]time but youâ??ll see th[D]e bigger picture
