[Verse 1]
                D   F#m  G                 D    F#  G
You can take my keys     if you've got the mind
                D      F# G             D       F#    G
You can take my wallet      even rob me blind
                      Bm  F#m  G        A       D    F#  G
You can take a lot of thi------ngs that I might miss
                       Bm   F#m G                  A
But when it's said and done,       take my word on this


[Chorus]

                I've got a joy that the world didn't give me
D                      G       A

And the world can't take it away
                               G       A
Can't take aw-----------ay,
                     no, can't take it away
            D                  G

G                  D   F#  G          A         D    F# G
When the times are bad        and the bills are due
         A         D   F#  G           A          D     F# G
When the aches are old,       when the trials are new
                   Bm        G                D      F# G
You're gonna see a sm--------ile instead of a frown
           Bm    G            A
Hard as it tries    to get me down
