G                   D                   Em                    C
 Sometimes I lay under the moon, I thank God I'm breathing
G            D                         Em               C
 Then I pray don't take me soon,  I am here for reason

Pre-chorus:
G                                        D               Em                         C
Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down
             C                       D          Em                        C
So when negativity surrounds, I know someday it'll all turn around 'cause

Chorus:
G                                 D                             Em                           C
All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for, for the people to say
G                                D                                     Em                      C
That we don't wanna fight no more, there'll be no more wars, and our children will play
G              D             Em     C
One day, one day, one day,  oh oh oh
G              D             Em     C
One day, one day, one day

G          D                   Em                        C
 It's not about win or lose, 'cause we all lose when they feed on the
G                                D                                          Em                C
Souls of the innocent, blood-drenched pavement , keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin'
G                   D                            Em           C
 In this maze you could lose your way, your way
G                                           D                                 Em         C
It might drive you crazy, but don't let it phase you no way, no way

{Pre-chorus}

{Chorus}

 The chords are the same but palm muted. You play the first three chords 
quickly and muted (G, D and Em) and loudly strum the last one (the C). Then it goes into Arpeggios.

Bridge:

   G                                             D                            Em                 C
One day this all will change, treat people the same, stop with the violence, down with the hate
    G                                 D                        Em                           C
One day we'll all be free, and proud to be under the same sun singing songs of freedom like

G       D    Em       C
Wye oh    Woh oh oh 
G      D     Em       C
Wye oh    Woh oh oh 

{Chorus} - Starts slower and gradually speeding up to normal speed.

Outro: G D Em C x2
