                     Em7                 D
College kids turning twenty-one in their senior year
                       A
Spring break was here
                       Em7         D
They headed south, but not for sun on their skin

Where the storms had been
       Em7          G                        Em7
It was hard, fixing windows and shingles and doors
    G
And tired never felt so good before


CHORUS:
         D              Em7                 A
Everyday people are the ones who are making miracles
         G
And it's beautiful
         D               G                    Em7
Everyday people, lifting up the world like an answered prayer
        D
I thank god they're there
            G
They're the ones who care
          D      Em7   A
Everyday people


                   Em7                    D
Doctor said, "Good news we caught it soon enough
                       A
We can clear this up"
                 Em7             D
But she's 30 and single with two kids to raise

Times are tough these days
        Em7               G                          Em7
So, her friends made some calls and the word spread around
        G
How her bills got paid, she don't know how


CHORUS:
         D              Em7                 A
Everyday people are the ones who are making miracles
         G
And it's beautiful
         D               G                    Em7
Everyday people, lifting up the world like an answered prayer
        D
I thank god they're there
            G
They're the ones who care

BRIDGE:
                        Em7             D
A little girl takes her Mama's hand and walks inside
                             A
Saying, "Please don't cry"
                  Em7              D
As the people who built this house just for them
                                Em7
Laugh through the tears, as the family moves in


CHORUS:
         D              Em7                 A
Everyday people are the ones who are making miracles
         G
And it's beautiful
         D               G                    Em7
Everyday people, lifting up the world like an answered prayer
