Bside from "The Tension and the Spark" 

F                  Am 
So welcome to the world  
 G                F 
Got so much I can tell you, baby  
F           Am 
So many lessons to learn  
G                     F 
Let me tell you what I've heard  


F                
Because people can be cruel  
       Am 
And the world is full of rules  
 G                       F 
That's when you need to call me  
            F    
When the struggle gets you down  
               Am 
When there's no one else around  
  G                     F 
That's when you need to call me  


F                            Am 
Oh you'll be strong, you'll hold on  You will get through it  
            F             G 
And when you can't do it I'll make you better than that  
F                           Am 
Don't be scared, sing your song  Bring your soul to it  
               F                  G 
And when you're through with it I'll know you're better than that  

I still believe  

That this world is a good place, baby  

For every vulture and thief  

Kindness in every stranger  

When it's slipping through your hands  

When you do not understand  

That's when you need to call me  

When you cannot carry on  

When you feel like hope is gone  

That's when you can call me  

Oh you'll be strong, you'll hold on  

You will get through it  

And when you can't do it  

I'll make you better than that  

Don't be scared, sing your song  

Bring your soul to it  

And when you're through with it  

I'll know you're better than that  

Welcome to the world  

Got so much I can tell you, baby  

So many lessons to learn  

Let me tell you what I've heard  


F                        Am 
The road is long, so just hang on  
            F 
It's gonna be alright  
      G 
I'll make you better than that  
F                       Am 
The road is long, so keep your faith  
               F                 G 
And when your zero has come It's gonna be alright  
              F                Am 
And you'll be judged  on who you love,  
        F             G 
the color of your skin  
               F            Am     F     
The road is long, just hang on  
           G 
It's gonna be alright  

Oh you'll be strong, you'll hold on  
You will get through it  
And when you can't do it  
I'll make you better than that  
Don't be scared, sing your song  
Bring your soul to it  
And when you're through with it  
I'll know you're better than that  

Oh you'll be strong, you'll hold on  
You will get through it  
And when you can't do it

Bring your soul to it  
And when you're through with it  
I'll know you're better than that
