Tom: G

D Am D Am D

[Verse 1]
                       Am
Here comes the morning sun
D            Am
Shins on everyone
C                       G
But it doesn't shine on you
C                       G
It's only passing through
D                Am  D                      Am
And you already know that all the words you throw
                  C
Won't make it go away
             G
It's here to stay

[Chorus]
                D
So take me to a better place
             Am
The one you know
             D
Take me to a better place
             Am
Where I can grow
                    C
And teach me how to lose
      G
All I know
              D    Am
That's all I know

D Am D Am

[Verse 2]
D           am
Winter just begone
 D           Am
It rains on everyone
C                      G
But it doesn't rain on you
C                   G
It's only passing through
D                    Am
And time it goes so slow
D                Am
It only goes to show
                  C
How easy it could be
           G
To set you free

[Chorus]
                 D
So take me to a better place
            Am
The one you know
              D
Take me to a better place
             Am
Where I can grow
                     C
And teach me how to lose
       G
All I know
              D  Am D Am D
That's all I know
