G#                  C#
Sunny called, I was in the hall
D#                         C#
And made a note I have to paint the kitchen walls
An angel smiled across the room
All in all, it was a lazy afternoon

Pre-Chorus:
A#        D#           F D#
Then I thought about you
            Gm             F          D#
I think it was some sweet song that I heard

Chorus:
 F#               B      C#
Got to get goin' goin' ahead
         B                 F# C# B C#
It will take a long, long time
Got to go ahead and deal with my life
It has taken such a long time this time

Sunny called, I was in the bath
And heard the rain hit the roof
and tiles real hard
(hit the roof real hard/hit the roof)
Then I ran through my magazines
A few letters poorly hidden in a jar
(hidden in a jar/oh what a jar!)

And I thought about you
It must have been some old pictures I found

Chorus
