_ _ _ [Dm] My _ [Eb] life, it don't count [Bb] for nothing _
When I look at [Dm] this world, _
[Eb] _ I feel [Bb] so _ small
_ _ And [Dm] my _ life, [Eb] _ it's [Bb] only a season
[Eb] A [Bb] passing _ [Dm] _ September _ [Eb] that no one [Bb] will _ recall
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
But [Dm] I gave [Eb] _
[Dm] joy to [Bb] my mother
_ And _ _ [Dm] I made [Eb] _
my [F] lover _ [Eb] smile _ _
I can [D] give comfort to my [Gm]
friends [F] when [Eb] they're hurting
_ [Bb] _
_ And I can [Dm] make it [Eb] seem better [F] _ [Bb] for a _
_ [Dm] while
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ And [Dm] my _ life, [Eb] _ it's half the [Bb] way traveled
And still I have [Dm] not found [Eb] my way out of this [Bb] night
_ _ _ _ And [Dm] my life, [Eb] _ it's tangled [Bb] in wishes
And so many [Dm] _ things that [Eb] just never turned [Bb] out _ right _ _ _
_ _ _ But [Dm] I gave [Eb] _ _ [Bb] joy [Eb] to [Bb] my mother
[Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ And [Dm] I made _ [Eb] my lover [F] _ [Eb] smile
_ _ [Bb] And I can [D] give comfort to my [Gm] friends [F] when [Eb] they're hurting
_ _ [Bb] _ I [Bb] can _ make it [Eb] seem better
_ I [Bb] can make it seem [Eb] better
_ I can [Bb] make it [Eb] seem better
_ [F] For [Bb] a _ [Dm] while _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ I can make it seem better _ _
