Am/D Dm7 Bb Bb6

[Verse 1]
Am/D Bb
Not more than three short years ago, I was abandoned and alone
Am/D Bb
Without a penny to my name, So very young and so afraid
Am/D Bb
No proper shoes upon my feet, Sometimes I couldn’t even eat
Am/D Bb Bbmaj7
I often cried myself to sleep, But still I had to keep on going

[Pre-chorus]
Bbmaj7 Am7 Bbmaj7
Never knowing if I could take it
Cm7/F F7/A Bbmaj7
If I would make it through the night
Csus4/A G9
I held on to my faith, I struggled and I prayed
Gm7/C Dbaug
And now I’ve found my way

[Chorus]
Am7/D Dm7 Bb
If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want
Bb6 Bb6 Am7/D Dm7 Bb Bb6 Bb6
You’re gonna make it happen (Make it happen)
Am7/D Dm7 Bb
And if you get down on your knees at night and pray to the Lord
Bb6 Bb6 Am7/D Dm7 Bb Bb6
He’s gonna make it happen (Make it happen)
N.C.
[4 bars bass only]
You’re gonna make it happen, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Am/D Bb
I know life can be so tough, And you feel like giving up
Am/D Bb
But you must be strong, Baby just hold on
Am/D Bb
You’ll never find the answers if you throw your life away
Am/D Bb Bbmaj7
I used to feel the way you do, Still I have to keep going

[Pre-chorus]
Bbmaj7 Am7 Bbmaj7
Never knowing if I could take it
Cm7/F F7/A Bbmaj7
If I would make it through the night
Bbmaj7 Csus4/A G9
I held on to my faith, I struggled and I prayed
Gm7/C Dbaug
And now I’ve found my way

[Chorus]

Bb6 Bb6 Am7/D Dm7 Bb Bb6 Bb6
You’re gonna make it happen, make it happen (I know, you gonna make it happen)
