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]

      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

[Verse]

       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]

[Verse]

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]

Finding our true North

All comes right back to you
               G
I hope you get up every 

time you fall
G
And you get back in again
                Bm   
But if you only get   
    A              G
one thing that's a given
            Bm      A              G
If you only get one thing that's a given

I hope you have happy children
