[Verse 1]
G Em
Well, you didn't wake up this morning, because you didn't go to bed,
A C
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red,
G Em A C
The calendar on your wall is ticking ...the days off,
G Em
You've been reading some old letters,
A C
You smile, and think how much you've changed,
G Em A C
All the money in the world ...couldn't buy back those days!
[Chorus]
G G/B C A
You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,
G G/B C A
You watch a plane flying ...a - cross a clear blue sky,
G G/B C A
This is the day ...your life will surely change,
G G/B C A
This is the day ...when things fall into place!
[Break]

G Em A C
You could've done anything, if you'd wanted,
G Em A C
And all your friends, and family, think that you're lucky,
G Em
But, the side of you they'll never see,
A C
Is when you're left alone with memories that...
G Em A C G
...Hold your life to - gether like ...glue-----!
