(Em G)
Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
(Em G)
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Em D
Look at me standing
G Am
Here on my own again
Em D G Am
Up straight in the sunshine
Em G
No need to run and hide
Em C D
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Em G
No need to hide your face
Em C D
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
(Em G)
Sun in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
(Em G)
And I need a friend
Oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
(Em G)
I need a friend
Oh, I need friend
To make me happy
Not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
