Buildup: Ab7sus

              DbM7
Today's a new day
                Eb7
but there is no sunshine,
             GbM7
Nothing but clouds
and it's dark in my heart
                    B7
And it feels like a cold night.
              DbM7
Today's a new day,
                     Eb7
tell me where are my blue skies?
               GbM7
Where is that love
and the joy that you promised me?
            B7
Tell me it's all right?

Pre-Chorus:
   GbM7                         Eb7
I almost gave up at a power that I can't explain!
B7                                   Ab7sus
Fell from Heaven, like a shower now.

Chorus:
  DbM7                            Db7
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
                           GbM7
I know God is working so I smile,
                                 B7
Even though I've been here for a while
         DbM7
I smile, smile!
                                         Db7
It's so hard to look up when you've been down,
                                   GbM7
Sure would hate to see you give up now,
                                  B7
You look so much better when you smile!

Coda:

Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine,
Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night.
It ain't easy but,
Today's a new day, but tell me where are my blue skies?
Where is that love?
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me?
Tell me it's all right?
The truth is:
I'll be honest with you!
I almost gave up at a power that I can't explain!
Fell from Heaven, like a shower now.
When I think I'm much better, I'm gonna be when this is over.

Chorus:
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile!
It's so hard to look up when you've been down,
Sure would hate to see you give up now,
You look so much better when you smile!
Not every day is gonna be perfect,
But it still don't mean today don't have purpose!
So smile!

Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine,
Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night.

Where is that love?
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me?
Tell me it's all right?

And while you're praying

Look in the mirror

Because you're a winner!
