verse 1
E
When the sun came up this morning
B B7
I took the time to watch it rise
E Emaj7 B B7
And as its beauty struck the darkness from the sky
Emaj7 E7
I thought how small and unimportant
A
all my troubles seem to be
F#m F#m7 B B7
And how lucky another day belongs to me
verse 2
E Emaj7 A B
And as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the day
E Emaj7 B B7
All its silent beauties seemed to say
E7 Esus4 A
So what my friend if all your dreams you haven't realized
F#m B B7
Just look around you you got a whole new day to try
E G#m F#m B
Today is mine today is mine to do with what I will
G#m C#m F#m B
Today is mine my own special cup to fill
E7 Esus4 A F#m F#m7
To die a little that I might learn to live to take from life
B E A E A E A E A
that I might learn to give Today is mine 
verse 3
E Emaj7 F#m B
Like most men I cursed the present void of peace of mind
E Emaj7 F#m
And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow and envision there a
B B7
sweeter time
Bridge
E7 C#m7 A
But as I view this day around me I can see the fool I've been
F#m B B7
For today's the only garden we can tend
E G#m
Today is mine... Today is mine...
F#m B
to do with what I will
G#m C#m F#m B
Today is mine......my own special cup to fill
E7 Esus4 A
To die a little that I might learn to live
F#m B
to take from life that I might
B7 E A E A E A E A E F#m E
learn to give Today is mine...
