F#                    D#m7
When I wake up in the morning light
Dmaj7    E6
Sunlight hurts my eyes
F#               D#m7
Something without warning, love
Dmaj7       B
Plays heavy on my mind

F#m
Then I look at you
B
Then I look at you
A               F#
Then I look at you
Then I look at you
A               F#m7
Then I look at you
                B
And the world's alright with me

Oh just one look at you

A lovely day
                 F# D#m7 Dmaj7
On the night line
         B
For the night line

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

Chorus:
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Oh, just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
On the night line
For the night line

          A F#m7  B
A lovely day
              A  F#m7 B
On the night line
               F# D#m7 Dmaj7 B
For the night line
