Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
One, [G]two, [F#]thre[G]e, four.[F#][G]
Sometimes a stranger can [Am]seem like [D]a lender,
a [G]friend, a [Am]buddy, a [G]prize.
When the [Gm]going get[Bb]s tough
and the [Cm]journey turn[F]s rough,
there's [Bb]always a [F]new [Bb]sunrise.
When it [D]hurts too much to laugh
And you're [Em]much too old to [A]cry
You [Em]must never bite the hand of fate
And here's the reason [D]why[Asus4]
You may [Bm]find it in your heart
To begin again and start
[E]without som[C]eone to tel[B]l,
you [C]might as well [C#]just yell
And here's the reason [F#sus4]why
I, [F#]I just thought of something
One, two, three
[B]What if I could read what's in your mind
[Abm]Wouldn't you sa[F#]y there's[C#m]
a friend of mine
And [F#]wouldn't you prepare
yourself to [B]pay?[F#]
[B]One who would explain
the things you'd [F#]really [C#m]like to say
Like [F#]younger, I could explain
that [E]hunger [F#]is just a turn of ph[C#m]rase
I could go for days and days
whilst never asking any praise
If only I could raise enough
to satisfy a seed that's rough
And help a stranger in his need
who'd help me cultivate a seed
And sew the seed into my knee
[F#]Everybody'[E]s got to[C#m]
[B]eat[Abm][F#][B][F#]
[B]Sometimes a [C#]stranger
can seem like a [B]lender,
safe, [C#m]compassionate [F#]and [B]wise.[Bm][C#]
[B]When the going gets tough
and the sea seems [C#m]rough,
prepare yourself [F#]for a big sur[B]prise.
When it [Eb]hurts too much to laugh,
And you're [Ab]much too old to cry,
You must [C#]never tempt the hand of fate,
And [F#]here's the reason why,
You may [B]find it in your heart,
To be[F#]gin again [C#m]and start,
Without [F#]someone to tell,
You might as well just yell,
And here's the reason why
[F#sus4]Every body[F#]'s go[E]t[Abm]
[F#]to e[B]at
[G]Everybody's got [F#]to eat
[B]Everybod[G]y's got to [F#]eat
[B]
