[Intro]: Am

Am                                  G                  Em
We've been waiting, anticipating, change coming our way
Am                                      G                 Em
You're my baby, through the bad lights to the greater days
    F
I know that something good is waiting just around the corner
           Am                         Em
There's a new day dawning, there's a new life for us
 F                                                    G
Gotta keep on holding on for just a little longer I know

                     Am    C       Am     G
That it's gonna be blue skies for you and I
            F                      Am            G
We'll step out of the shadows and walk into the light
                     Am    C       Am     G
Yeah it's gonna be blue skies for you and I
        F                        Am                 G
But my heart beats slow as the storm carries on up high
                    Am
And the clouds roll by

Am                            G
I can feel it, it's a comet, fast and fierce and wild
Am                     Em G                  Em
I can see it everytime I look into those eyes
 F                           Dm
Tell me is it really gonna storm again
          Am             Em       G      Am Em
Will the sky turn dark, will the rain begin
   F                          Dm                          G
I wanna be with you whenever lightening strikes cause I know

                     Am    C       Am     G
That it's gonna be blue skies for you and I
            F                      Am            G
We'll step out of the shadows and walk into the light
                     Am    C       Am     G
Yeah it's gonna be blue skies for you and I
        F                        Am                 G
But my heart beats slow as the storm carries on up high
                     F                      Am
And the clouds roll by, let the clouds roll by
          G
I can't stand the rain for one more day
        F              G
I know we can make it go away
Am                              G
Can you feel it, like a fever, burning till it breaks

  Am    C       Am    G/B
Blue skies for you and I
            F                      Am            G
We'll step out of the shadows and walk into the light
                     Am    C       Am     G
Yeah it's gonna be blue skies for you and I
        F                        Am                 G
But my heart beats slow as the storm carries on up high
                    Am
And the clouds roll by

              G                             Am
Blue skies, blue skies (let the clouds roll by)
              G                              F
Blue skies, blue skies (let the clouds roll by)
              Am                             G
Blue skies, blue skies (let the clouds roll by)
                                        Am
Blue skies, blue skies (the clouds roll by)

Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
