                    Am          C
This garden that I built for you
          G              Am C G
That you sit in now and yearn
I will never leave it, dear
I could not bear to return
And find it all untended
With the trees all bended low
This garden is our home, dear
And I got nowhere else to go

Chorus:
            F Am C
So bring it on,
         G
bring it on
              F  Am C
every little tear,
         G
bring it on
               F  Am  C
every useless fear,
         G
bring it on
                     F   Am
all your shattered dreams,
           C                    G
and I'll scatter them into the sea, into the sea

The geraniums on your window sill
The carnations, dear, and the daffodil
Well, they're ordinary flowers
But they long for the light of your touch
And of your trembling will
Ah, you're trembling still
And I am trembling too
To be perfectly honest I don't know
Quite what else to do

Chorus:
So bring it on
Bring it on
Every neglected dream
Bring it on
Every little scheme
Bring it on
Every little fear
And I'll make them disappear
So bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on
Every little thing
Bring it on
Every tiny fear
Bring it on
Every shattered dream
And I'll scatter them into the sea
