[D][F#m][D][G][Em][G][Asus4][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
I know it's [A]late
But I couldn't wait [C]to call you
on [G]the phone[Em]
'Tis been a [Asus4]while since
I've [A]been [D]home[G][D]
All of this was my [A]own choice
[C]Since the man up[D]stairs has
given [B]me this [Em]voice
No matter how long [D]it takes
[G]No matter how hard the[D] breaks
I've gotta [G]use it
[D]Or los[G]e it[D]
[Em]I just can't stand to [Asus4]refuse
Chance to [Em]do what I go[D]tta do
[G]I gotta [Asus4]sing my song[D]

[Verse 2]
[C]
Sing the [G]hatred [D]into love
[C]Sing a p[G]raise to heaven
an[D]d a[F#]bove
Sing the tears into a [Bm]smile, [Esus4]yeah
Sing [E]into a feeling
This [Asus4]is all worthwhile
[C]Sing it high, sin[G]g it low[D]
Sing from deep within my [C]soul
Sing it loud and [G]make it clear
[D]Sing so everyone can hear
[F#]Could it be Lord, chosen [Bm]me beca[A]use
[Bm]I'd [Em]be no[G]thi[Asus4]ng
If I couldn't sing my [D]song
[Asus4]

[Verse 3]
[D]
By [A]the way may I say thank [C]you
[D]For the love you've [G]shown[Em]
All of these [Asus4]years since I've
[D]been [G]born[D][G][Asus4][D]
Papa thought I was col[A]lege- [C]bound
And you expected [D]me to [B]settle down
[Em]I'm not ignoring what you
[D]had in mind
Neither [G]do I wanna sound unkind
[D]Before I giv[G]e up
[D]I gotta liv[G]e up[D]
To a [Em]chall[D]enge to [G]do my [Asus4]thing
I gotta cut [G]loose [D]the April string[G]s
[Asus4]Oh I've gotta sing my son[D]g

[Verse 4]
All [D]I wanna do is s[C]ing the h[G]atred int[D]o love,
yes I do
[C]Sing a praise,
[G]to the[D] heaven and abo[F#]ve
Sing the tears in[Bm]to a smile,
[Esus4]yeah
Sing in[E]to a feeling
This is [Asus4]all worthwhile
[C]Sing it high, sin[G]g it low[D]
Sing from deep within my soul
[C]Sing it loud, and [G]make it clear
[D]Sing so every one can hear
[F#]Could it be Lord, chosen me be[Bm]cause
[Em]I'd [G]be n[Asus4]oth ing

[Asus4]If I couldn't sing
If I couldn't sing [G]my
[D]son[G]g[Asus4][D]
