Up All Night

Mordechai Shapiro

Capo 2+
 Em
Turning through pages
    C
Of our history
                G
All through the ages
                D
It’s hard to believe
          Em
Was there ever a time
     C
With no need to fear
                     G
What tomorrow will bring
                   D
Will our sun reappear

Pre Chorus

Am
Everywhere I turn
           C
It’s so clear to see
     Em
The faces of struggling
D
Calling out to me
Am                    (D)
Poverty and suffering
      C                  (D)
It’s laced in our tracks
    Em
So many young children
      D
Will fall through the cracks

Chorus
         C       G
I can be up all night
  D                  Em
Thinking of all the pain
C                     G
When will we see our sunrise
     B                 Em
The light of a better day
C            G            D
Tell me how long will it take
               C      G
I just wanna close my eyes
  D                    Em
Thinking of a better place
   C                     G
A world we’re afraid no more
   B               Em
A world we can embrace
 C       G            D
Tell me why we still wait
 C                     G
Tell me why we still wait

Em         
It’s been too long
     C
Too much pain and sorrow
                       G
We live? through our whole?
                D
For a better tomorrow
    Em
We must hold tight
       C
To a dream that seems far
                  G
We’re closer than ever
                D
Right where we are

Pre Chorus

Chorus

  Bm               Em
There will come a time
      C             G
Our questions will fade
    Bm            Em 
As they turn into answers
    C              G
As night turns to day
         Bm              Em
And the sun will shine bright
 C            G
Reasons now clear
     F              C
The light from our darkness
      D
The spark from our fears

           C       G
We will be up all night
D                    Em
Celebrating all the pain
C                 G
How did we ever doubt
     B                  Em
The tears we’ve shed in vain
    C          G
We could have danced
        D
In the rain
      C       G
Now I open my eyes
   D               Em
Accept for all to see
C                       G
Hidden from the world afar
    B            Em
No longer a mystery
         C         G            D
We were missing a page of our story
    C         G
Now I open my eyes
      D                G
It’s there for all to see
       C       G
Now I open my eyes
       D               G
It’s there for all to see

    to play these chords with the original song, the capo must be placed on the 5th fret…
