A#            D7
Beautiful dawn lights up the shore for me.
          Gm
There is nothing else in the world
C
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
A#            Gm
Beautiful dawn I'm just chasing time again.
Cm
Thought I would die a lonely man,
in endless night.

Chorus:
            D#  F
But now I'm high,
         Gm                 D#
running wild among all the stars above.
D#   F         Gm                    D#
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn (beautiful dawn)
Melt with the stars again
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end of time?
Beautiful dawn (beautiful dawn)
You're just blowing my mind again
Thought I was born to endless night,
until you shine

Chorus:
High Running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

Gm/D                  Gm/D#
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Gm/E                 Cm7
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,

Chorus:
Getting high
Running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
High Running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
