Fall out of bed and catch a fading star
Fancy I woke up before my alarm
Rubbed my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do
Before its automatic habit of returning to you
Though I smile as it happens, almost as if it was magic
It means there's a god somewhere and he's laughing
And I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchen
Bb (one strum)
Still low to the ground, but high on living
Chorus:
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge them aches
It must be something I did yesterday
Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold
Bb (one strum)
But in a minute everything's gonna change
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
Instrumental break (only change of chords):
Looking out from a cul-de-sac watching the bend of the earth
Take the black of the night from the dirt
I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes
A reflection of yeses and that ever-changing sky
But why do bad dreams linger long after I wake?
I don't need no scenes of violence and pain replayed
And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray
Bb (one strum)
But my thoughts are all I got so I try to make them brave
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
This is what I've been waiting for (Hello)
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
