CAPO: 3rd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of Bb)
For other instruments use the transpose function set to +3 to view
the chords in the key of Bb.
 
Emphasise the bass note of each chord followed by a strum.
 
For the chords shown in brackets these have the bass note that
alternates with the root note ones.
 
The /Bb and the G/A are intended to be just passing bass notes only.
 
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
 G    = 320033    G/B  = x20033   (Em/B) = x22000
 Em   = 022000    C*   = x32013    (/Bb) = x1xxxx
 A    = x02220    A*   = x02225    (A/E) = xx2220
 C    = x32010   (G/D) = xx0033    (C/G) = xxx010

[Verse 1]
          G                                        Em
Well, you didn't wake up this morning, because you didn't go to bed,
         A                           C
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red,
G               Em              A              C
   The calendar on your wall is ticking ...the days off,
            G                Em
You've been reading some old letters, 
    A                    C
You smile, and think how much you've changed,
G                 Em              A            C
    All the money in the world ...couldn't buy back those days
 
[Chorus]
G                (G/A) G/B               C*                  A*
    You pull back the  curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,
G                   (G/A) G/B           C*                 A*
    You watch a plane---  flying ...a - cross a clear blue sky,
G          (G/A) G/B          C*               A*
    This is the  day  ...your life will surely change,
G          (G/A) G/B          C*               A*
    This is the  day  ...when things fall into place

G      (G/D)          Em   (Em/B)  (/Bb) A (A/E)         C      (C/G)
    You could've done any - thing,           ...if you'd want - ed,
    G       (G/D)         Em    (Em/B)(/Bb)
And all your friends, and fami - ly,
   A    (A/E)        C     (C/G)
...think that you're luck - y,
G           (G/D)                Em    (Em/B)
    But, the side of you they'll never see,
  (/Bb)         A      (A/E)          C     (C/G)
Is when you're left a - lone with the memo - ries that...
   G   (G/D) Em   (Em/B) (/Bb)     A   (A/E)      C  (C/G)
...Hold your life          ...to - ge - ther like  ...glue-----
