|F#m |D |A |E | (2x)


[Verse 1]
F#m                     D
 Don't cry because it's over now
  A                  E
Smile because it was ours
F#m                  D
 Keep your feet firm on the ground
     A                   E
Your eyes fixed on the stars
                 E
'Cause it never mattered who you are


[Chorus]
 D                 A
Make your life a message
          F#m               E
And bring light to all you see (to all you see)
     D                  A
And make your words a message
           E
That will be (that will be)
    E
A blessing coming back to me
 D                 A
Make your life a storybook
     F#m      E
With no apologies (no apologies)
 D                 A
Make your life a message
            E
And you'll be (and you'll be)
    E
A blessing coming back to me
F#m  D    A    E
Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh

[Verse 2]
F#m             D
 All I know of life and love
    A            E
I wrestled into words
F#m                 D
 Rest assured that life goes on
     A                E
And moves on its own terms
       E
So be careful 'cause it might just burn


[Chorus]
 D                 A
Make your life a message
          F#m               E
And bring light to all you see (to all you see)
     D                  A
And make your words a message
           E
That will be (that will be)
    E
A blessing coming back to me
 D                 A
Make your life a storybook
     F#m      E
With no apologies (no apologies)
 D                 A
Make your life a message
            E
And you'll be (and you'll be)
    E
A blessing coming back to me
