Capo 2
Its the ache in your Garm 
When you reach high Cabove you
Its the crack in your Emvoice
On a tune you routinely Dsing
Its your song of Gsurvival
That at first may be Chard to hear
But you bless its Emarrival
And the peace that it Dbrings
The Cshining of the Dsun 
Is so much Gsweeter when you have to

A vacation from Emsorrow
Heres your chance to even the Dscore

Capo 2

Its the ache in your arm

When you reach high above you

Its the crack in your voice

On a tune you routinely sing

Its your song of survival

That at first may be hard to hear

But you bless its arrival

And the peace that it brings

C D

The shining of the sun

Is so much sweeter when you have to

C D G

Dance around whats in the way

Em C Em D

Of your brighter day

Its the things that you wished youd said

That you just had to swallow

Now they make you feel hollow

Down to your core

For each opportunity

Therell be somebody new who needs

A vacation from sorrow

Heres your chance to even the score

C D

Mistrust any fool

Whod just hand it to you

C D G

Run quickly if they smile and they say

Em C Em

Heres your brighter day

Your brighter day

When youre intimidated

Your brighter day

When you feel old and faded

Your brighter day

Go get illuminated

Go on - take it

Now the truth is a wicked thing

And it may leave you broken

To twist in the wind

Like a shirt on a line

It will change you forever

And just when youve had enough

And you cry up to heaven

For what seems your last time

C D

May the clouds rearrange

In your stratosphere

C D G

And quietly step out of the way

Em C Em C G

Of your brighter day
