[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/B              C                   A
   You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,
G                     G/B            C                 A
   You watch a plane flying ...a - cross a clear blue sky,
G              G/B           C                A
   This is the day  ...your life will surely change,
G              G/B           C                A
   This is the day ...when things fall into place!

[Break]
   G     Em       A     C        G     Em       A     C

[Verse 2]
G                       Em      A               C
    You could've done anything,      if you'd wanted,
     G                     Em       A                 C
And all your friends, and family, think that you're lucky,
G                                 Em
    But, the side of you they'll never see,
                A                 C
Is when you're left alone with memories that...
     G        Em         A         C         G
...Hold your life to - gether like  ...glue-----!
