C       C/B         Am                 G 
Hold up your end      And I'll hold up mine 
F              Em     F              G 
Dancin' all the time  Dancin' all the time 
    C         C/B    Am                        G 
And too late father   You know that that's for sure 
    F            Em   F            G 
You never find a way  Never find a way 

So gather     around     And see what the day brings 
And see what makes you laugh  And see what makes you sing 
And never, nevermind     The thing that people say 
You'll never go away     You'll never go away 

C                   C/B 
Who knows where the storm will take us 
Am                 G 
Who knows when the pain will break us 
F                 Em 
When will all the G's be given 
F                 G 
Another chance to live in freedom 

Hey now 
Get your heart, get your heart   Off of the shelf 
Make the grey sky blue  Yeah, I'm talkin to you 
And nevermind   The sick and the afraid 
Askin' out today to see a brighter day 

So gather around        And see what the day brings 
And see what makes you laugh    And see what makes you sing 
And never, nevermind    The thing that people say 
You'll never go away    You'll never go away 

Who knows where the storm will take us 
Who knows when the pain will break us 
When will all the G's be given 
Another chance to live in freedom 

(solo over)  Am   Em   F    G 

So gather around 
And see what the day brings     And see what makes you laugh  (riff 1) 
And see what makes you sing     And never, nevermind          (riff 1)
