Each line is a measure, unless otherwise noted.
Well, I'm
sorry for the things I told you, but
words only go so far. And if I
had my way I would reach into heaven and I'd
pull you down a star for a present. And I'd
make you a chain out of diamonds or
pearls from a summer sea. But
all I can give you is a kiss in the mornin' and a
sweet apology. //half measure

[
G] [
C]Well, I
know that it hasn't been easy. And I
haven't always been around to
say the right words, or to hold you in the mornin', or to
help you when you're down. I know I
never showed you much of a good time, but baby
things are gonna change. I'm gonna
make up for all of the hurt I brought, I'm gonna
love away all your pain. //half measure
(Chorus:)
And To-
morrow's gonna be a brighter day;
there's gonna be some changes. To-
morrow's gonna be a brighter day;
this time you can believe me.
No more cryin' in your lonely room,
no more empty nights, 'Cause to-
morrow mornin' everything'll turn out
[
G]right. [
C]
Well there's
something that I gotta tell you; yes I
got something on my mind. But
words come hard when you're lyin' in my arms, and when I'm
lookin' deep into your eyes. But there's
truth and consolation in
what I'm tryin' to say, is that
nobody ever had a rainbow, baby un-
til he had the rain. //half measure
(repeat Chorus)
