A             A7sus4       A   A7sus4
I can see the pain in your eyes,
    A         A7sus4     A     A7sus4
No matter how hard you try to hide,
    D
I know that there's
something going on in the back of your
 A A7sus4 A A7sus4
mind,

It's not that I'm tryin' to pry,
it's just that I know what it feels like
To hide somethin' deep down,
somethin' deep down inside

Chorus:
E7 D7                        A A7sus4 A A7sus4
Oh it’s gonna be a brighter day.

I've been watchin' your storm unfold,
I've been wonderin' how long you gonna hold onto
All those ghosts that's been hauntin'
you from your past
You done chained yourself like
a slave, diggin' up your own grave
But you ain't gotta dig like that anymore

Chorus:
Ooh, there's gonna be a brighter day
Ah ooh, there's gonna be a brighter day

 A  A7sus4 A A7sus4
Brighter day
Brighter day
Brighter day
Brighter day

E7                D7             A
Oh, there's gonna be a brighter day.
