Chords with lyrics

G+G - D/F - E minor 7Em7 - Cadd9Cadd9

G+G         D/F
You didn't ask for this
       E minor 7Em7
Nobody ever would
            Cadd9Cadd9
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction
G+G         D/F
It’s your sad reality
              E minor 7Em7
It’s your messed up family tree
           Cadd9Cadd9
Now you’re left with all these questions

A minorAm             C majorC
Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
A minorAm              C majorC
Do you have to carry what they’ve handed down?

G+G           D/F
No, this is not your legacy
         E minor 7Em7
This is not your destiny
        Cadd9Cadd9
Yesterday does not define you

G+G           D/F
No, this is not your legacy
           E minor 7Em7
This is not your meant to be
        Cadd9Cadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

G+G - D/F - E minor 7Em7 - Cadd9Cadd9

G+G          D/F
I have a dream for you
               E minor 7Em7
It’s better than where you’ve been
           Cadd9Cadd9
It’s bigger than your imagination

G+G            D/F
You’re gonna find real love
              E minor 7Em7
And you’re gonna hold your kids
              Cadd9Cadd9
You’ll change the course of generations

G+G          D/F
No, this is not your legacy
           E minor 7Em7
This is not your destiny
        Cadd9Cadd9
Yesterday does not define you

G+G          D/F
No, this is not your legacy
           E minor 7Em7
This is not your meant to be
         Cadd9Cadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

A minorAm              C majorC
You’re my child, you’re my chosen
     G+G       D/F
You are loved, you are loved
        A minorAm         C majorC
And I will restore all that was broken
     G+G       D/F
You are loved, you are loved

G+G             D/F
And just like the seasons change
       E minor 7Em7
Winter into spring
                 Cadd9Cadd9
You’re bringing new life to your family tree now
Yes you are, you are

G+G - D/F - E minor 7Em7 - Cadd9Cadd9

G+G           D/F
Oh, this will be your legacy
         E minor 7Em7
This will be your destiny
       Cadd9Cadd9
Yesterday did not define you

G+G           D/F
Oh, this will be your legacy
          E minor 7Em7
This will be your meant to be
        Cadd9Cadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

G+G              D/F
And just like the seasons change
       E minor 7Em7
Winter into spring
                 Cadd9Cadd9
