Em                      D
Thank the morning for bringing you
Bm              B                 Em
Hope you never turn your head and run
                        D
And thank the sun for shining, too
Bm                 B            Cmaj7
Hope the darkness never comes again
                Bm Cmaj7
What it does to me
              Bm Bm7
Isn't good to see

Chorus:
G             G+
You say that fortune brought you
G6                G7
Sailin' cross the sea
Cmaj7     Gmaj9
I don't believe you
Cmaj7       Gmaj9
I don't see how it's true
Cmaj7                            Bsus4
I think my dreamin' brought you here
B        Em            Em/D              Cmaj7
And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near

Once a miser, twice a son
Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun
Fun for living, one and all
Start a battle, who's the first to fall?
Hope it isn't me, have to wait and see

Chorus

          Em                 Em/D
Should I live with rain and then the sky will
  C Am7 C/D
clear
