Here are the lyrics, now all I need is the chords.

Take Your Tomorrow and Give Me Today
(Jimmy Johnson, Andy Razaf)
As Sung by Emmett Miller

Guitar picking
Spoken: Dogone Eddie, you is killing me.
Guitar picking

Why Should I wait for happiness?
I've grown impatient more or less.
I cannot wait somehow.
Show me that bluebird now.

Chorus:

Take your tomorrow,
And give me today.
For your tomorrow,
Is too far away.
At every dawning,
I've waited in vain.
I find each morning,
Brings only rain.
How can I borrow tomorrow today.
With clouds around me all heavy and grey. oooh doh
What tomorrow may bring,
Don't mean a thing.
That's why I say.
Take your tomorrow,
And give me today.

Repeat chorus.

the chords shifted a bit when i posted, but i'm sure you can figure it out if you imagine each chord a little to the right, or listen to the song to find the changes.
