[Verse 1]
  G
A never-ending winter
C                D
Rests above this island
      G                        C
While on the other side of the world
           D
Skies are far brighter
     G            G
I'll get away somehow
   C            D
By aeroplane or sea and
  G
Escape this streaming cold
     C              D
That never wants to leave

[Chorus 1]
     C        Am              D
So I'll take another step towards happiness
                        C
and let this sunshine rule
             Am               B7
'cause loneliness is just a word
                      Em7
don't let it take you too

[Verse 2]
     G
I'll make myself journey
 C             D
Across a foreign land
G
Find myself in places
C              D
I' would never have imagined
   G
If I'd stayed in England
        C            D
The gloom would overtake me
    G                           C
The rain would drown my soul and
             D
No one could save me

[Chorus 2]
     C        Am              D
So I'll take another step towards happiness
                        C
and let this sunshine rule
             Am               B7
'cause loneliness is just a word
                      Em7
don't let it take you too

[Verse 3]
N.C.
Now I'm on the other-side
Cadd9                  B7
Digging my feet in the sand
N.C.
Watching the waves crash and
                    B7
Admiring my golden sun tan
N.C.
I miss the green of England
                      B7
Maybe it will call me back
N.C.
But for now I'm rested and loneliness is
                   B7
No longer my only friend

[Chorus 3]
     C        Am              D
So I'll take another step towards happiness
                        C
and let this sunshine rule
             Am               B7
'cause loneliness is just a word
                      Em7
don't let it take you too
     C        Am              D
So I'll take another step towards happiness
                        C
and let this sunshine rule
             Am               B7
'cause loneliness is just a word
                      Em7
don't let it take you too
