 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.

                 A  Bm D G 
 You're out of luck,
 D                     A             
 and the reason that you had to care,
                   A  Bm D G 
 the traffic is stuck,
 D                    A         
 and you're not moving anywhere.
                            A   Bm D G 
 You thought you found a friend,
 D                    A        
 to take you out of this place.
               A    Bm        D G 
 someone you could lend, a hand
 D             A    
 in return for grace

 The sky falls and you feel like
 It's a beautiful day
 It's a beautiful day
 
 RIFF 1
 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
 
 It's a beautiful day
 
 RIFF 2
 Don't let it get away
 It's a beautiful day
 Don't let it get away

 F#m      G D                A        
 Touch me, Take me to the other place

 Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
 
 RIFF 1 w/ old chords A Bm D G (1X)
 
 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 see out
 Em              G             
 See the bedouin fires at night
 D                                
 See the oil fields at first light
 Em               G                   
 See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
 D                                      
 After the flood all the colors came out
 
 It was a beautiful day
