Capo 3 

G  D/F  Em7  Cadd9 

G                  D/F  
You didn't ask for this 
             Em7 
Nobody ever would 
                        Cadd9 
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction 
G                  D/F    
It’s your sad reality 
                            Em7  
It’s your messed up family tree 
                     Cadd9 
Now you’re left with all these questions 

Am                          C 
Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was? 
Am                            C      
Do you have to carry what they’ve handed down? 

G                     D/F   
No, this is not your legacy 
                  Em7 
This is not your destiny 
               Cadd9 
Yesterday does not define you 

G                     D/F 
No, this is not your legacy 
                      Em7 
This is not your meant to be 
                Cadd9 
I can break the chains that bind you 

G  D/F  Em7  Cadd9 

G                    D/F 
I have a dream for you 
                              Em7 
It’s better than where you’ve been 
                      Cadd9 
It’s bigger than your imagination 

G                       D/F  
You’re gonna find real love 
                            Em7 
And you’re gonna hold your kids 
                            Cadd9 
You’ll change the course of generations 

G                    D/F   
No, this is not your legacy 
                     Em7 
This is not your destiny 
               Cadd9 
Yesterday does not define you 

G                    D/F 
No, this is not your legacy 
                      Em7 
This is not your meant to be 
                 Cadd9 
I can break the chains that bind you 

Am                           C 
You’re my child, you’re my chosen 
          G             D/F 
You are loved, you are loved 
               Am                 C 
And I will restore all that was broken 
          G             D/F 
You are loved, you are loved 

G                          D/F 
And just like the seasons change 
             Em7        
Winter into spring 
                                 Cadd9 
You’re bringing new life to your family tree now 
Yes you are, you are
