E                     B                 G 
When I wake up in the morning light 
         A     
Sunlight hurts my eyes 
E                 B                  G 
Something without warning, love 
                 A 
Plays heavy on my mind 


E 
Then I look at you  
A 
Then I look at you  
G                E 
Then I look at you 
A  
Then I look at you  
G                E 
Then I look at you  
A 
And the world's alright with me 

G                   E 
Oh just one look at you  
A 
Oh just one look at you  
G                   E 
Oh just one look at you  
A 
And I know it's gonna be 


         E      B     G    A 
A lovely day 
                 E     B     G     A 
On the night line 
                 E 
For the night line 

                           B 
When the day that lies ahead of me 
G                     A          
Seems impossible to face 
E                    B 
When someone else instead of me 
G                        A 
Always seems to know the way 


E    
Then I look at you 
                 A 
And the world's alright with me 
G                E 
Just one look at you 
                A 
And I know it's gonna be 

           G     E     A         
A lovely day 
                G     E    A 
On the night line 
                   E     B     G     A 
For the night line
