[Intro]
D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 D In this life there's no guarantee Dmaj7 Right from the very start Bm Takes all the blood inside your veins Bm All the kindness in your heart G Don't ask the moon how high you are Gm He's always lookin' down D Don't sit in the dark too long A Sit in the sun when it comes out
[Verse 2]
D Y'all meet some funny birds Dmaj7 Out there in the by and by Bm You can't make them all love you Bm There's no need to wonder why G When you're young you wanna be old Gm When you're old you wanna be young D A I wish you all the best in case this life's the only one
[Chorus]
D Hope you find thе true North D Hope you make somе dreams come true Bm I hope you learn early that the love you give Bm All comes right back to you G I hope you get up every time you fall G And you get back in again Bm A G But if you only get one thing that's a given A D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 I hope you have happy children
[Verse 3]
D I hope you forgive your parents Dmaj7 For the ways they messed you up Bm I hope some of that was just their way Bm Of trying to show you love G I bet part of you is still that kid Gm Staring at your bedroom wall D Wondering how the world's so big A And why it feels so small
[Chorus]
D I hope you find thе true North D I hope you make somе dreams come true Bm I hope you learn early that the love you give Bm All comes right back to you G I hope you get up every time you fall G And you get back in again Bm A G But if you only get one thing that's a given A D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 I hope you have happy children Bm Happy children
[Guitar Solo]
Bm G A
[Verse 3]
D I hope you got some money in the mattress Dmaj7 And a roof over your head Bm And every other thing that you ever need is right inside your chest G It might be all a little lost Gm On this great big ball we're spinnin' on D We're probably just a speck of dust A That's why I hope we are
[Chorus]
D Finding our true North D And make some dreams come true Bm I hope you learn early that the love you give Bm All comes right back to you G I hope you get up every time you fall G And you get back in again Bm A G But if you only get one thing that's a given Bm A G If you only get one thing that's a given A D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 I hope you have happy children
[Outro]
Bm G Happy children A D I hope you have happy children
