verse 1 
C                G                Am              E 
Early light that burns my eyes, a minute more the sun will rise 
    Dm7                   C             G 
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold 
C             G              Am              E 
I'll be dead asleep by then, shut up in this box again 
  Dm       E     Dm      E 
Until it's gone, outside I can hear it 
A                  Bm                Amaj7          D 
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead 
A               Bm           Amaj7            D 
I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed 
C                 Dm               C                 Dm7 
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way 


 
         Amaj7 Cmaj7        D          Dm 
One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day 


verse 2 
C              G            Am              E 
Looking for an easy mark, I hit the Denny's after dark 
    Dm7           C                G 
And take a lonely waitress home to drink 
C                  G                  Am               E 
She's sincere, but halfway through, I find I'm wishing she was you 
   Dm          E      Dm         E 
My blood goes cold, I guess this date is over 
A             Bm            Amaj7       D 
Several hours later I'm the only one awake 
A                     Bm               Amaj7        D 
All these streets are empty, it's just me and my mistake 
C              Dm              C                  Dm7 
One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray 

 
         Amaj7 Cmaj7        D          Dm 
One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day   


Bridge 
Dm 
Sometimes I see how long 
Amaj7 
I can wait 
Am7                     D7 
Tempting disaster by my garden gate 
Dm                       Amaj7 
My trembling hand on the cellar door 
Am7           D7       B7             E       Dm7 
Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for 


verse 3 
C                G              Am             E 
All at once I've had enough, as if I'm made of sterner stuff 
  Dm7               C           G 
I take a breath and open up the door 
C                    G                Am              E 
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me, for just one moment I can see 
    Dm        E      Dm       E 
The pale blue sky, I close my eyes because 
    A                     Bm          Amaj7          D 
The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away 
A                  Bm        Amaj7           D 
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day 
C          Dm             C               Dm7 
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away 


         Amaj7 Cmaj7        D          Dm 
One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day
