Intro: F E Am E
F E Am
F E
All the way back home
Am E
I'm telling you I caught the sun
F G
Creeping up behind my shoulder
C E
And another day's begun
F E
I was following a trail
Am E
I'd never been along before
F G C
Chasing darkened skies above me
E F
Looking like the spring
E
Like the winter
Am E F E Am
And the morning
F E
If there's a place I want to go
Am E
Then I'll be there with you
F
'Cos in my dreams the things
G
I'm wishing for
C E F E
Keep coming true
F E
Now a new day comes
Am E
Clears the darkness out of sight
F G
And the shadows that were sleeping
C E
Come and dance beneath the light
F E
And I'm trying hard to hide
Am E
Keeping the sun out of my eyes
F
Close them tight
G C E Am
And now I'm waiting for the moon to rise
( F E Am E )
( F G F E F E )
( F E Am E F E )
F E
Don't try to say to me
Am E
That this was never meant to be
F G
'Cos the days are long where I come from
C E
The next few days I'm free
F E
There's a train I want to catch
Am E
But it won't leave here for a while
F G
Till darkness fills the eastern sky
C E
And streetlights stretch for miles
F
Through the spring
E
And the winter
Am E F
and the morning
