Chords for I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today

Now tell me the rest of the story.
It was the breeze again.
It was this warm breeze.
I was driving with the windows down, just drinking in this fabulous warm breeze.
And for the first time in a long, long time, I felt like I could breathe.
_ It was the day my daughter was born.
I remember thinking if something so beautiful, something so perfect, could come into this world, then there was hope again for all of us.
It was the day I read the book again.
And I read that courage is [D] when you know you're lit before you begin.
[A] And when you begin anyway, when you see it through no matter what, [G] you rarely win.
But sometimes [Gb] you do.
The day I got onto an airplane and landed safely.
The day he started singing [B] out loud to the radio again.
I [D] was watching my son play on the playground with [E] all of these kids who were different than him.
And I thought, if only we all could be [A] so simply human.
And then I realized, [Db] we can.
The first time I felt okay to laugh at a joke.
[N] When I realized I wasn't alone.
I knew I wasn't alone.
We're not alone.
There comes a moment after periods of darkness.
When you begin to see the light again.
It is a quiet first.
In fact, if you weren't constantly looking, [F] if you weren't persistently scanning the horizon for the first needed glow,
you will almost certainly miss it.
But if you wait long [D] enough, even those who are still [Ab] afraid to open their eyes, can't help [E] but feel the sun [N] on their face.
_ I like to think that we are in a period of light.
The tunnel has been long, it has been dark, but we have made it through.
Together.
As we always do.
We may not agree on how to get to the other side, but one thing that can't be denied is that the only way out is through.
And so [G] we move forward.
Because we have to.
Because we [Em] can.
There will be periods of darkness ahead that can't be [G] helped.
And when it comes, we will sing the stories [F] of how we made it through before.
[Ebm] And the time [Bb] before that.
And the time before [Gm] that.
And in [D] moments filled with [Ab] shadows, we will know that there is a revival of hope just waiting [Eb] in the dark.
There [Eb] were times _ I remember _ [Ab] had to fight [A] just to hold [Bb] my head up.
[Abm] Those were times when [Eb] even my friends tried [Ab] to make a fool of me.
Those were [F] things that my heart [Ab] looked at, that [Bb] they just [Eb] couldn't see. _ _ _
Some [A] said I was [Eb] hopeless. _
[Ab] A mind tangled [Eb] in the night. _
But strong [A] hearts just keep [Bb] going.
[Cm] _
That is why I'm still [Fm] standing here [Eb] today. _
Come [Ab] together, raise our guns on the stand.
This time [Ab] I swore love [Bb] would not [Eb] go away.
I'll sing [Ab] a prayer here [Eb] in the sunshine.
_ [G] To see the sun burn through the storm.
[Ab] I'm so glad [Bb] I'm standing [Eb] here today.

Standing [Eb] here today.
_ [F] To see the sun [Cm] burn through the storm.
[Ab] I'm so glad [Bb] I'm standing here [Eb] today.
