Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

You didn't ask for this

 Nobody ever would

 Caught in the middle of this dysfunction

It’s your sad reality

 It’s your messed up family tree

 Now you’re left with all these questions

Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?

Do you have to carry what they’ve handed down?

No, this is not your legacy

 This is not your destiny

 Yesterday does not define you

No, this is not your legacy

 This is not your meant to be

 I can break the chains that bind you

I have a dream for you

 It’s better than where you’ve been

 It’s bigger than your imagination

You’re gonna find real love

 And you’re gonna hold your kids

 You’ll change the course of generations

No, this is not your legacy

 This is not your destiny

 Yesterday does not define you

No, this is not your legacy

 This is not your meant to be

 I can break the chains that bind you

You’re my child, you’re my chosen

 You are loved, you are loved

 And I will restore all that was broken

 You are loved, you are loved

And just like the seasons change

 Winter into spring

 You’re bringing new life to your family tree now

Yes you are, you are

Oh, this will be your legacy

 This will be your destiny

 Yesterday did not define you

Oh, this will be your legacy

 This will be your meant to be

 I can break the chains that bind you

And just like the seasons change

 Winter into spring

 You’re bringing new life to your family tree now
