Today Is Mine

D G D G D G D Em D


[Verse 1]
D
When the sun came up this morning,
Em                          A
I took the time to watch it rise.
           D
And as its beauty struck the darkness from the
A                  D             D7
sky, I thought how small and unimportant
G
all my troubles seem to be
        Em                           A7
and how lucky another day belongs to me.


[Verse 2]
A          D                      Em
And as the sleepy world around me woke up to
A7
greet the day,
D                                 A  A7
All its silent beauty seemed to say,
            D7
“So what my friend, if all your dreams you
G
haven't realized?
          Em
Just look around you boy, you got a whole new
       A7
day to try.”


[Chorus 1]
         D              F#m   Em
Today is mine. Today is mine, to do with what I
A
will.
D        Bm       Em                 A
Today is mine, my own special cup to fill.
D7               G                           Em
To die a little, that I might learn to live. To
                     A
take from life, that I might learn to give.
            D
Today is mine.


[Verse 3]
D                                    Em
Like most men, I cursed the present, void of
         A
peace of mind
            D                        Em
and race my thoughts beyond tomorrow envision
               A
there a better time.


[Bridge]
         D7                       G
But as I view this day around me, I can see the

fool I've been
Em                                 A
For today's the only garden we can tend


[Chorus 2]
         D              F#m   Em
Today is mine. Today is mine, to do with what I
A
will.
D        Bm       Em                 A
Today is mine, my own special cup to fill.
D7               G                           Em
To die a little, that I might learn to live. To
                     A
take from life, that I might learn to give.
         D
Today is mine.
