Bright Sun Grow my food

I           don't know why it is sold

           G         G
Don't know why it's so cold

(no chord)
In this life that we live

new day,   new day

In my shoes,

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
In my shoes

There is so much to astound me

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
As the whirlpool spins around me,

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
home

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Bushfire,

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
burn and grow

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Sunset watch and rest low

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Long night holding child close

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
     feed my dream


[CHORUS:]


 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day


[BRIDGE:]
F                 F#m
It's larger than life,

F                 G
It's darker than death,

F                       Em     G      Am
We're gonna move those mountains aside

(no chord)
Here come the messages

new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G  (2X)

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G  (4X, fades out)
