Intro: CDmA#A# (x2)
CDm
Fall out of bed and catch a fading star
A#
Fancy I woke up before my alarm
CDm
Rubbed my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do
A#
Before its automatic habit of returning to you
CDm
Though I smile as it happens, almost as if it was magic
A#
It means there's a god somewhere and he's laughing
CDm
And I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchen
Bb (one strum)
Still low to the ground, but high on living
Chorus:
CDmA#
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
CDmA#
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
CDm
Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge them aches
A#
It must be something I did yesterday
CDm
Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold
Bb (one strum)
But in a minute everything's gonna change
CDmA#
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
CDmA#
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
CDmA#
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
CDmA#
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
CDmA#
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
Instrumental break (only change of chords):
AmFAmFCDmA#
Looking out from a cul-de-sac watching the bend of the earth
Take the black of the night from the dirt
CDm
I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes
A#
A reflection of yeses and that ever-changing sky
CDm
But why do bad dreams linger long after I wake?
A#
I don't need no scenes of violence and pain replayed
CDm
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
CDmA#
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
CDmA#
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
CDmA#
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
CDmA#
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
CDmA#
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
CDmA#
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
CDmA# (one strum)
This is what I've been waiting for (Hello)
CDmA#
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
CDmA# (one strum)
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
