Today Is Mine

Intro  E A E A E A E F#m E

Verse 1

E
When the sun came up this morning
B                           B7
I took the time to watch it rise
E                             Emaj7            B   B7
And as its beauty struck the darkness from the sky
              Emaj7      E7
I thought how small and unimportant
 A
all my troubles seem to be
        F#m               F#m7       B  B7
And how lucky another day belongs to me

Verse 2
           E             Emaj7    A                    B
And as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the day
E               Emaj7             B  B7
All its silent beauties seemed to say
            E7       Esus4               A
So what my friend if all your dreams you haven't realized
          F#m                                   B   B7
Just look around you you got a whole new day to try

Chorus 1

         E             G#m   F#m                  B
Today is mine today is mine     to do with what I will
G#m          C#m   F#m                   B
Today is mine      my own special cup to fill
E7        Esus4 A                          F#m              F#m7
To die a little that I might learn to live     to take from life
B                                    E    A  E  A  E  A  E  A
that I might learn to give  Today is mine

Verse 3

 E                         Emaj7   F#m              B
Like most men I cursed the present void of peace of mind
         E                  Emaj7        F#m
And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow and envision there a
         B   B7
sweeter time

Bridge

         E7              C#m7    A
But as I view this day around me I can see the fool I've been
    F#m                            B   B7
For today's the only garden we can tend

Chorus 2

         E                 G#m
Today is mine...  Today is mine...
F#m               B
to do with what I will
         G#m  C#m  F#m                    B
Today is mine......my own special cup to fill
   E7     Esus4        A
To die a little that I might learn to live
F#m                B
to take from life that I might
         B7               E      A E A E A E A E F#m E
learn to give   Today is mine...
