E    B7                               E
Baby I see this world has made you sad
B7                 E
Some people can be bad
A               F#/A#               B      C#m7     B
The things they do, the things they say
    E    B7                               E
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
B7                             E
I'll chase away those restless fears
A              F#/A#           B     C#m7    B  
That turn your blue skies into grey

    E      A                    B         E    
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
A               B              E
There should be sunshine after rain
A                 B               E
These things have always been the same
A      B        E
So why worry now
A    B  
Why worry now

E    B7                        E
Baby when I get down I turn to you
B7                           E
And you make sense of what I do
A         F#/A#         B    C#m7    B
I know it isn't hard to say
    E    B7                                      E
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
B7                             E
Our love comes shining red and gold
A           F#/A#          B    C#m7   B
And all the rest is by the way

    E      A                    B         E   
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
A                  B           E   
There should be sunshine after rain
A                   B             E         
These things have always been the same
A      B        E
So why worry now
A   B
Why worry now
