Am Em7
|C |C |
C G Am E
Early light that burns my eyes, A minute more the sun will rise
F C G (Fig. 1)
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
C G Am E
I'll be dead asleep by then, Shut up in this box again
Bm7b5 E Bm7b5 E
Until it's gone, Outside I can hear it
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A A Em7
I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed
C Dm7 C F/D
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way
Amaj7 Cmaj7/A D Bm7b5
One more blue sunny day
Am Em7
C G Am E
Looking for an easy mark, I hit the Denny's after dark
F C G (Fig 1)
And take a lonely waitress home to drink
C G Am E
She's sincere, but halfway through, I find I'm wishing she was you
Bm7b5 E Bm7b5 E
My blood goes cold, I guess this date is over
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A
Several hours later I'm the only one awake
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A A Em7
All these streets are empty, it's just me and my mistake
C Dm7 C F/D
One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray
Amaj7 Cmaj7/A D Bm7b5
One more blue sunny day Sometimes I see how long
Amaj7
I can wait
Am7 D9
Tempting disaster by my garden gate
Bm7b5 Amaj7
My trembling hand's on the cellar door
Am7 D7 B7 E
Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting
F C Dm7 E A Bm/A C#m/A
for
Am Em7
C G Am E
All at once I've had enough, As if I'm made of sterner stuff
F C G (Fig 1)
I take a breath and open up the door
C G Am E
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me, For just one moment I can see
Bm7b5 E Bm7b5 E
The pale blue sky, I close my eyes because
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A
The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A A Em7
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day
C Dm7 C F/D
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away
Amaj7 Cmaj7/A D Bm7b5
One more blue sunny day
