 E  B7                              E
Baby I see this world has made you sad
B7                  E
Some people can be bad
A                F#                  B C#m7 B
The things they do, the things they say

But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
And turn your blue skies into grey

Chorus:
     E    A                 B                  E
Why worry, there should be laughter after the 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

Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say

But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way

Chorus:
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?
