=============== CAPO 5 ===============
==INTRO== GAmFF (x2)
==VERSE== GAm Fall out of bed and catch a fading star F Fancy I woke up before my alarm GAm Rubbed my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do F Before its automatic habit of returning to you GAm Though I smile when it happens, almost as if it was magic F It means there's a god somewhere and he's laughing GAm And I shuffle my slipper-less toes to the kitchen F Still low to the ground, but high on living
==CHORUS== GAmF And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day GAmF Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
==VERSE== GAm Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge some aches F It must be something I did yesterday GAmF Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold *stop* But in a minute everything's gonna change
==CHORUS== GAmF And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day GAmF Hello, hello, you beautiful thing GAmF Hello, hello, you beautiful thing GAmF This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) GAmF This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for)
==BRIDGE== EmC Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha EmF Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha
==VERSE== GAmF Looking out from a cul-de-sac watching the bend of the Earth F Take the black of the night from the dirt GAm I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes F A reflection of yes's and an ever changing sky GAm But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake? F I don't need no scenes of violence or pain replayed GAm And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray F *stop* But my thoughts are all I got so I try to make 'em brave
==CHORUS== GAmF And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day GAmF Hello, hello, you beautiful thing GAmF Hello, hello, you beautiful thing GAmF This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) GAmF This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) GAmF This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) GAmF This is what I've been waiting for (hello)
==OUTRO== GAmF And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day GAmF Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
