I don't know if I can stay, living in the world this way

While that freeway drives me down, that old highway round 

G             Bm  A     G            Bm   A 
Hear an angel say.   Living ain't so grey 
G                 Bm  A     G                D 
With each passing day.   Sunshine turns me round 
         G                 A             D 
And it seems to me that smiling's fine again 
         G                 Bm       A    D 
Well it seems to me that smiling's fine again

G        D        G    D           G       A          D 
A merry race is often lost, the lonesome highway's crossed 
G        D        G        D     G        D     A      D 
In the passing friends of life, greedy morning story sighs 
G       D       G   D         G       A       D 
The situation long ago, the timeless rivers flow

Hear an angel say.   Living ain't so grey

With each passing day.   Sunshine turns me round
