The child was given food
Ebm9  
But did not eat it
Bbmaj9
The child was given shelter
Ebm9  
But did not sleep in it
Bbmaj9
The child was given love
Ebm9  
But did not take
Dm9                   Dm7  
The child was shown a path, hm
Gm7  
That he could not make

Bbmaj9
The boy was given hope
Ebm9  
But hope prevailed him
Bbmaj9
The boy was given a chance
Ebm9  
But that chance failed him
Bbmaj9
The boy was given love
Ebm9  
But did not take
Am7                  Dm7  
The boy was shown a path, hm
Gm7  
That he could not make

[Chorus]
Ebmaj9     Dm9            Gm7  
But he was hoping for the better
Ebmaj9      Dm9               Gm9  
Just like another man would do, no
Ebmaj9       Dm9        Gm7  
But now it's only rainy weather
          Cmaj7
Nothing's new
        Bbmaj7   F13
What to do

[Verse 2]
        Bbmaj9
See the mornings come
                     Ebm9  
But he don't see the morning sun
      Bbmaj9
So he waits

He don't wait
         Ebm9  
He don't wait for the morning's love

[Bridge]
        Gm7  
See the morning has come
        Cm9  
And the dark night will go
    Gm7  
But still theres no sun
         Cm9  
Just the mystic still shows
        Gm7  
And I'm feeling your shine
          Cm9  
Just this rhythm inside
             Cmaj7
Yet still he hopes
     C7            Fmaj7  F13
Everything will be alright

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Ebmaj9     Dm9            Gm7  
But he was hoping for the better
Ebmaj9      Dm9               Gm9  
Just like another man would do, no
Ebmaj9       Dm9        Gm7  
But now it's only rainy weather
          Cmaj7
Nothing's new
        Bbmaj7   F13
What to do
         Bbmaj9
When the morning comes
