Intro: F - C/Eb - Dm7 - Bbadd9

F                  C/Eb 
You didn't ask for this
             Dm7
Nobody ever would
                        Bbadd9
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction
F                  C/Eb   
It’s your sad reality
                            Dm7 
It’s your messed up family tree
                     Bbadd9
Now you’re left with all these questions

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

F                     C/Eb  
No, this is not your legacy
                  Dm7
This is not your destiny
               Bbadd9
Yesterday does not define you

F                     C/Eb
No, this is not your legacy
                      Dm7
This is not your meant to be
                Bbadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

F - C/Eb - Dm7 - Bbadd9

F                    C/Eb
I have a dream for you
                              Dm7
It’s better than where you’ve been
                      Bbadd9
It’s bigger than your imagination

F                       C/Eb 
You’re gonna find real love
                            Dm7
And you’re gonna hold your kids
                            Bbadd9
You’ll change the course of generations

F                    C/Eb  
No, this is not your legacy
                     Dm7
This is not your destiny
               Bbadd9
Yesterday does not define you

F                    C/Eb
No, this is not your legacy
                      Dm7
This is not your meant to be
                 Bbadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

Gm                           Bb
You’re my child, you’re my chosen
          F             C/Eb
You are loved, you are loved
               Gm                 Bb
And I will restore all that was broken
          F             C/Eb
You are loved, you are loved

F                          C/Eb
And just like the seasons change
             Dm7       
Winter into spring
                                 Bbadd9
You’re bringing new life to your family tree now
Yes you are, you are

F - C/Eb - Dm7 - Bbadd9

F                     C/Eb
Oh, this will be your legacy
                  Dm7
This will be your destiny
              Bbadd9         
Yesterday did not define you

F                     C/Eb
Oh, this will be your legacy
                   Dm7
This will be your meant to be
                Bbadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

F                           C/Eb
And just like the seasons change
              Dm7
Winter into spring
                                  Bbadd9
You’re bringing new life to your family tree now
