                 A Bm D G      	
The heart is a bloom,
       D                       A
Shoots up throught the stony ground
                A Bm D G
But there's no room,
     D                    A
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere.

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

Chorus:
                  A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
 D                     A
The sky falls and you feel like
                  A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
       D          A
Don't let i get away

You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you

Chorus:
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Ooh-hoo-hoo

F#m     G  D             A
Touch me, take me to the other place
F#m     G    D              A
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

Em
See the world in green and blue
D
See China right in front of you
Em                G
See the canyons broken my cloud
D
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
Em               G
See the bedouin fires at night
 D
See the olis fields at first light
Em                   G
See the bird with a leaf inher mouth
D                        A
After the flood all the colours came out

Chorus:
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Ooh-hoo-hoo

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know i'm not a hopeless case

          A     Bm       D     G
What you don't have you don't need it now
          D                  A
What you don't know you can feel it someone
          A     Bm       D     G
What you don't have you don't need it now
           D
Don't need it now
                 A
Was a beautiful day
