Em C9 B7 Em
|
If you say all the good times are gone,
|
Em C9 B7 Em
|
If you say this rain will keep rainin' on--
|
AM D Em
|
I'll walk along with my head held high;
|
Am D G Em
|
I'll find a song and I'll sing it to the sky--
|
Am D G Em
|
I may be wrong but I'll live 'til I die.
|
C Am
|
That's the way it's gonna be.
|
B
|
Wait and see.
|
|
Even though you say hard times knock at my door,
|
Though you say I'll never smile any more--
|
I just imagine that I'm ten feet tall,
|
Then if I try I can climb the highest wall,
|
It doesn't matter if I slip down and fall:
|
That's the way it's gonna be.
|
Wait and see.
|
Just you wait and see.
|
|
Even though you say I've reached the end of my row,
|
Though you say my times are all running low--
|
It's been so long since I tried to frown,
|
That Old Man Trouble will never get me down.
|
It's all that easy when you know where you're bound.
|
That's the way it's gonna be.
|
Wait and see.
|
|
Even though you say all the good times are gone,
|
Though you say this rain will keep rainin' on--
|
I'll walk along with my head held high;
|
I'll find a song and I'll sing it to the sky--
|
I may be wrong but I'll live 'til I die.
|
That's the way it's gonna be.
|
Wait and see.
|
Just you wait and see.
