Intro: Em Am Em Am (x6)
Verse
C Am Em Am
Something's wrong when you regret
Em Am Em Am
Things that haven't happened yet
Em Am Em Am
But it's a glorious day when morning comes
Em Am Em Am
Without the feeling of alarm
[Refrão]Em Am Em Am
So rise, and shine
Em Am
Nows the time to be alive
Em Am Em
To stay awake with me a while,
Am C
And smile
Em Am
Verse
C Am Em Am Em
You couldn't sleep for the awful fright
Am Em Am Em
That kept you up in bed last night
C Am Em Am
But curious shape shift in the dark,
Em Am
They vanish with the sunrise spark
[Refrão]Em Am Em Am
So rise, and shine
Em Am
Nows the time to be alive
Em Am Em
To stay awake with me a while,
Am C
And smile
