[Opening]
[Em] [G] [F] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
[C] There’s a [G] place in your [Am7] heart and I [Bm] know that it is [C] love
And this [G] place could be much [Am7] brighter than to[Bm]morrow [C]
And if [G] you really [Am7] try you’ll find [Bm] there’s no need to [C] cry
In this [G] place you’ll feel [Am7] there’s no hurt or [Bm] sorrow [C]
There [Am7] are ways to [Bm] get there if you [C] care enough for the [Bm] living
Make a [Am7] little space, make a [D] better place

[chorus]
Heal the [G] world, make it a [Am] better place
For [D] you and for me and the [G] entire human race, [D] there are
[Em] People [Bm] dying, if you [C] care enough for the [Bm] living
Make a [Am] better place for [D] you and for [G] me

[section 2]
[G] [Am7] [Bm] [C]
If you [G] want to know [Am7] why there’s a [Bm] love that cannot [C] lie
Love is [G] strong it only [Am7] cares for joyful [Bm] giving [C]
If we [G] try we shall [Am7] see in this [Bm] bliss we cannot [C] feel
Fear or [G] dread we stop [Am7] existing and start [Bm] living [C]
Then it [Am7] feels that [Bm] always, [C] love’s enough for us [Bm] growing
So make a [Am] better world, make a [D] better world

[chorus]
Heal the [G] world, make it a [Am] better place
For [D] you and for me and the [G] entire human race, [D] there are
[Em] People [Bm] dying, if you [C] care enough for the [Bm] living
Make a [Am] better place for [C] you and for [G] me

[section 3]
And the [F] dream we were conceived in will reveal a [G] joyful face
And the [F] world we once believed in will shine a[G] gain in grace
Then [Em] why do we keep [Bm] strangling, while [C] earth crucify its [Bm] soul
Though it’s [Am] plain to see this world is heavenly, [D] be god’s glow

[section 4]
We could [G] fly so [Am7] high, let our [Bm] spirits never [C] die
In my [G] heart I feel [Am7] you are all my [Bm] brothers [C]
Create a [G] world with no [Am7] fear together [Bm] we’ll cry happy [C] tears
See the [G] nations turn [Am7] their swords into [Bm] plowshares [C]
We could [Am] really get [Bm] there if you [C] cared enough for the [Bm] living
Make a [Am] little space to make a [D] better place

[chorus]
Heal the [A] world, make it a [Bm] better place
For [E] you and for me and the [A] entire human race, [A] there are
[F#m] People [C#m] dying, if you [D] care enough for the [C#m] living
Make a [Bm] better place for [E] you and for [A] me

[chorus]
Heal the [B] world, make it a [C#m] better place
For [F#] you and for me and the [B] entire human race, [B] there are
