            A            Bm7
There's a place in your heart
      C#m7            D/E
And I know that it is love
           A                   Bm7
And this place could be much brighter
        C#m7  D/E
Than tomorrow
        A          Bm7
And if you really try
             C#m7               D/E
You'll find there's no need to cry
          A
In this place you'll feel
Bm7                C#m7   D/E
There's no hurt or sorrow

         Bm7      C#m
There are ways to get there
       Dmaj7               C#m
If you care enough for the living
       Bm7
Make a little space
       D/E
Make a better place

Chorus:
          A
Heal the world
          Bm7
Make it a better place
    Esus4       D/E
For you and for me
        A
And the entire human race
E/G#     F#m     C#m7
There are people dying
       Dmaj7               C#m7
If you care enough for the living
       Bm7              Bm7/E        A
Make a better place for you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong, it only cares for joyful giving
If we try, we shall see
In this bliss, we cannot feel
Fear or dread, we stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
To make a better world

Chorus

          G
And the dream we were conceived in
               A
Will reveal a joyful face
        G
And the world we once believed in
             A
Will shine again in grace
     F#m              C#m
Then why do we keep strangling life
           D                  C#m
Wound this earth crucify this soul
            Bm7
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
D/E D/E   D/E
Be  God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart, I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together, we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into
Ploughshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place

Chorus - x3

You and for me
