  			A               E 
So I read every letter 
A                          E 
Like every word was crying out 
A                  E 
Lines like today I felt much better 
C#m                            B 
Though, but I didn't feel that proud 
A                 E 
Yesterday someone whispered out a compliment 
A                              E 
My back was turned despite the try 
A                                 E 
To look around and see what accomplishment 
C#m                            B 
I could have purchased with my pride 
E                  D 
What is meant will be 
A                  E 
What is meant will be 
E                  D 
What is meant will be, yes it will 
A                  E 
What is meant will be 
C#m                     B 
Turn your eyes into the moment 
A                  E 
What is meant will be 
A                                  E 
It doesn't matter if it's all what can prove 
A                    E 
To gratify a moments pride 
A                          E 
Someone special learned to tie their shoe 
C#m                              B 
I can only visualize it had been mine 
E                  D 
What is meant will be 
A                  E 
What is meant will be 
E                  D 
What is meant will be 
A                  E 
What is meant will be 
E                  D 
What is meant will be, I know 
A                  E 
What is meant will be 
C#m                     B 
Turn your eyes into the moment 
A                  E  
What is meant will be
