Make Something Good

  Dm        F    Am        C
I wanted to make something sweet
   Dm        F    Am        C
The blood inside a maple tree
  Dm        F    Am        C
The sunlight trapped inside the wood
  Dm        F    Am        C
Make something good

[Verse 2]

  Dm        F    Am        C
I wanted to make something strong
  Dm        F    Am        C
An organ pipe in a cathedral
  Dm        F    Am        C
That stays in tune through a thousand blooms
  Dm        F    Am        C
Make something good

[Chorus]

  Dm        F    Am        C
It's a gonna take a long, long time
  Dm        F    Am        C
But we're gonna make something so fine

 C     C

[Verse 3]

  Dm        F    Am        C
I wanted to make something pure
  Dm        F    Am        C
An emerald field from steer manure
  Dm        F    Am        C
A wild-eyed child in a moonlit room
  Dm        F    Am        C
Make something good

[Verse 4]

  Dm        F    Am        C
I wanted to make something built to last
  Dm        F    Am        C
A bottled ship with a golden mast
  Dm        F    Am        C
And through the squall the course stays true
  Dm        F    Am        C
Make something good
  Dm        F    Am        C
Make something good

[Chorus]

  Dm        F    Am        C
It's gonna take a long, long time
  Dm        F    Am        C
But we're gonna make something so fine
  Dm        F    Am        C
It's gonna take a long, long time
  Dm        F    Am        C
But we're gonna make something so fine
