verse 1
C                G                Am              E
Early light that burns my eyes, a minute more the sun will rise
    Dm7                   C             G
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
C             G              Am              E
I'll be dead asleep by then, shut up in this box again
  Dm       E     Dm      E
Until it's gone, outside I can hear it
A                  Bm                Amaj7          D
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead
A               Bm           Amaj7            D
I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed
C                 Dm               C                 Dm7
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way

Chorus
         Amaj7 Cmaj7        D          Dm
One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day


verse 2
C              G            Am              E
Looking for an easy mark, I hit the Denny's after dark
    Dm7           C                G
And take a lonely waitress home to drink
C                  G                  Am               E
She's sincere, but halfway through, I find I'm wishing she was you
   Dm          E      Dm         E
My blood goes cold, I guess this date is over
A             Bm            Amaj7       D
Several hours later I'm the only one awake
A                     Bm               Amaj7        D
All these streets are empty, it's just me and my mistake
C              Dm              C                  Dm7
One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray


Chorus
         Amaj7 Cmaj7        D          Dm
One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day


Bridge
Dm
Sometimes I see how long
Amaj7
I can wait
Am7                     D7
Tempting disaster by my garden gate
Dm                       Amaj7
My trembling hand on the cellar door
Am7           D7       B7             E       Dm7
Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for


verse 3
C                G              Am             E
All at once I've had enough, as if I'm made of sterner stuff
  Dm7               C           G
I take a breath and open up the door
C                    G                Am              E
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me, for just one moment I can see
    Dm        E      Dm       E
The pale blue sky, I close my eyes because
    A                     Bm          Amaj7          D
The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away
A                  Bm        Amaj7           D
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day
C          Dm             C               Dm7
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away


Chorus
         Amaj7 Cmaj7        D          Dm
One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day
