Verse 1:
          E                    A 
Well, I'm sorry for the things that I told you 
    E                 A 
But words only go so far 
    E                       F#m7 
And if I had my way I would reach into heaven 
        C#m      D       A 
And I'd pull you down a star    for a present 
        E                       A 
And I'd make you a chain out of diamonds 
    F#m7           D      A 
And pearls from a summer sea 
    E                      F#m7 
But all I can give you is a kiss in the morning 
      C#m   D     A 
And a sweet apology

( E  A  E  A ) 
    
Verse 2:
       E                        A 
Well, I know that it hasn't been easy 
      E                    A 
And I haven't always been around 
       E                     F#m7 
To say the right words or to hold you in the mornin' 
      C#m      D          A 
Or to help you when you're down 
       E                     A 
I know I never showed you much of a good time 
    F#m7             D        A 
But baby things are gonna change 
       E                         A 
I'm gonna make up for all of the hurt I brought 
          C#m        D        A 
I'm gonna love away all your pain 
  

     E               C#m          F#m7 
And tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day 
              B7 
There's gonna be some changes 
   E            C#m           F#m7 
Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day 
      B7 
This time you can believe me 
 E                     A 
No more cryin' in your lonely room 
   F#m7       D        A 
And no more empty nights 
       E               F#m7             B7       E       A 
'Cause tomorrow mornin' everything will turn out right 

( E  A ) 
  
Verse 3:
              E                             A 
Well, there's something that I've got to tell you 
         E                   A 
Yes I've got something on my mind 
      E                     F#m7 
But words come hard when your lying in my arms 
                     C#m     D       A 
And when I'm looking deep into your eyes 
           E                A 
But there's truth and consolation 
    F#m7       D        A 
And what I'm trying to say 
        E                  A 
Is that nobody ever had a rainbow baby 
  C#m      D       A 
Until he had the rain  


     E               C#m          F#m7 
And tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day 
              B7 
There's gonna be some changes 
   E            C#m           F#m7 
Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day 
      B7 
This time you can believe me 
 E                     A 
No more cryin' in your lonely room 
   F#m7       D        A 
And no more empty nights 
       E               F#m7             B7       E       A 
'Cause tomorrow mornin' everything will turn out right
