G G C G

Intro - , , ,

One day the Sun said, “I’m tired of getting high,”

“I want to do some things that I’ve never tried,”

C G

So it hung for the night time but it never came

I woke up tired of being free

I want to light up this town like a Catherine Wheel

C G

For the very first time

D C

And we all want to start out the day in the same way

D C

We want to wake up, breathing in

Breathing in clean air

I lost my country to a pair of nines

But in the morning it will all be fine

C G

We will all just rewind, start over again

Oh Lord wretched treachery!

Find me somewhere to live in peace

C G

If man is an island then we’re all just salt in the sea

D C

And we all want to start out the day in the same way

D C

We want to wake up, breathing in clean air

Em D

And sometimes the snow, it falls now in June

And we know just what we have to do

But it’s too slow, too slow

G G C G

, , ,

So now raise your voice

Get out in town and raise it my way

C G

If you're gonna get somewhere, you better get there soon.

I know you’re going to live your life

The saddest sight I’ve ever seen

C G

If you are not beginning to shine

D C

And we all want to start out the day in the same way

D C G

We want to wake up, breathing in clean air

Em D

And sometimes the snow, it falls now in June

And we know just what we have to do

But it’s too slow, too slow

La la la

C G

La la la
