          E               B7    E              B7 
          Somethings happening, can we make it last? 
          E                   B7          A            B7 
          I won’t forget this moment, the day is goin’ fast. 

verse 1 
               E               A               E       A 
          I’ve never seen a sunset like this before, 
          E              A               E        A 
          One long cloud sleepin’ in the valley. 
                  E             A                       B7 
          And the heaven that I see, belongs to you and me, 
          A                     B7             E     A  E  A 
          So much better than a picture on the wall. 

  
                   E               A                              B7 
          And it’s not your summer blue, and it’s not your winter green. 
               A                 E    A  
          It’s more like emerald. 
          A         E                         A 
          It’s been waiting for our hearts to fall,  
             C#m             B7 
          So we would see it all. 
          A                     B7             E      A  E  A 
          So much better than a picture on the wall. 

verse 2 
                    E              A             E       A 
          And we’ll never see a sunset like this again, 
            E               A                E     A 
          Tomorrow it could rain and thunder down, 
          E               A                               B7 
          Followed by the steam, and the trickling little stream. 
          A                     B7             E      A  E  A 
          So much better than a picture on the wall. 

  
                   E               A                              B7 
          And it’s not your summer blue, and it’s not your winter green. 
               A                 E  A   
          It’s more like emerald. 
          A         E                         A 
          It’s been waiting for our hearts to fall, 
             C#m             B7 
          So we would see it all. 
          A                     B7             E      A  E  A 
          So much better than a picture on the wall. 

Bridge 
          E               B7    E              B7 
          Somethings happening, can we make it last? 
          E                   B7          A            B7 
          I won’t forget this moment, the day is goin’ fast.
