Verse 1:
A Bm D G
The heart is a bloom
D A
Shoots up through the stony ground
Bm D G
But there�s no room
D A
No space to rent in this town
Bm D G
You�re out of luck
D A
And the reason that you had to care
Bm D G
The traffic is stuck
D A
And you�re not moving anywhere
Bm D G
You thought you�d found a friend
D A
To take you out of this place
Bm D G
Someone you could lend a hand
D A
In return for grace

Don�t let it get away

Verse 2:
A Bm D G
You�re on the road
D A
But you�ve got no destination
Bm D G
You�re in the mud
D A
In the maze of her imagination
Bm D G
You love this town
D A
Even if it doesn�t ring true
Bm D G
You�ve been all over
D A
And it�s been all over you


Chorus:
A5 B5 D5 G5
It�s a beautiful day

Don�t let it get away

It�s a beautiful day

Bridge:
Gadd9 G
See the world in green and blue
D5* Dsus4 D
See china right in front of you
Gadd9 G
See the canyons broken by cloud
D5* Dsus4 D
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
Gadd9 G
See the Bedouin fires at night
D5* Dsus4 D
See the oil fields at first light and
Gadd9 G
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
D A
After the flood all the colours came out
(Silence over vocals)
