Rubbed my Gmind through my eyes, it's the bAmest I can do

==INTRO==

G Am F F

(x2)

==VERSE==

G Am

Fall out of bed and catch a fading star

Fancy I woke up before my alarm

G Am

Rubbed my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do

Before its automatic habit of returning to you

G Am

Though I smile when it happens, almost as if it was magic

It means there's a god somewhere and he's laughing

G Am

And I shuffle my slipper-less toes to the kitchen

Still low to the ground, but high on living

==CHORUS==

G Am F

And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day

G Am F

Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

==VERSE==

G Am

Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge some aches

It must be something I did yesterday

G Am F

Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold

But in a minute everything's gonna change

==CHORUS==

G Am F

And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day

G Am F

Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

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 yes's and an ever changing sky

G Am

But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake?

I don't need no scenes of violence or pain replayed

G Am

And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray

F *stop*

But my thoughts are all I got so I try to make 'em brave

==CHORUS==

G Am F

And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day

G Am F

Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
