G
                  G
It's the first day of spring
    Em               C     G
My life is starting over again
G
Well the trees grow, the river flows
          Em         C        G 
And its water will wash away my sins
       C
For I do believe that everyone
                                 G
Has one chance to fuck up their lives
        C                              
Like a cut down tree, I will rise again
                                             G
I'll be bigger, and stronger than ever... before

        Am
If I'm still here hoping 
      C               G
That one day you may come back
        Am
If I'm still here hoping 
      C               G
That one day you may come back

G	Em   C   
G	Em   G

          G
There is hope, in every new seed
           Em            C           G
And every flower, that grows on the earth

And though I love you, and you know that

The last bit: 4:30 onwards. Guitar 2 play a G on the 6th string every half beat.
