This song uses a lot of open notes. The author did not likely know what the
chords were. I used the technical name for the chords (in an effort to
promote the right names). Please don't try to correct me if you don't know
the difference between a 9th or a 2nd... or a 4th or a sus. Music Theory...
learn it or stop pretending you know it.
I learned this for my wife who wanted to learn the right way to play it. I'm
not a fan of the movie (haven't seen it), or mandy moore (she ruined
Switchfoot). But other than that, you can write me at [email protected]
(please be constructive with criticism).

7 AM, the usual morning lineup

Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean

G+G
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up
BsusBsus Bsus/A 
G#m13G#m13

And so I'll read a book
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Or maybe two or three
C#m7C#m7 F# minorF#m A augmentedA E MajorE
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
C#m7C#m7 F# minorF#m
I'll play guitar and knit
A augmentedA G#m13G#m13 C#m7C#m7
And cook and basically
F#m11F#m11 BsusBsus E MajorE (intro): BsusBsus
Just wonder when will my life begin?
BsusBsus E MajorE
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking
BsusBsus E MajorE
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
C majorC G+G
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
BsusBsus Bsus/A G#m13G#m13 F#m11F#m11
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb
BsusBsus
Sew a dress!
E MajorE A augmentedA
And I'll reread the books
F# minorF#m E MajorE
If I have time to spare
C#m7C#m7 F# minorF#m
I'll paint the walls some more
A augmentedA E MajorE
I'm sure there's room somewhere
C#m7C#m7 F# minorF#m
And then I'll brush and brush
A augmentedA G#m13G#m13 C#m7C#m7
and brush and brush my hair
F# minorF#m A augmentedA G#m13G#m13 Cm#7
Stuck in the same place I've always been
F# minorF#m G#m13G#m13
And I'll keep wanderin' and wanderin'
A augmentedA G#m13G#m13 C#m7C#m7
And wanderin' and wonderin'
F# minorF#m BsusBsus E MajorE
When will my life begin?
E5E5 A5/E
And tomorrow night
E5E5 A5/E
Lights will appear
E5E5 A5/E E5E5

Just like they do on my birthday each year
C#m7C#m7 F#m11F#m11
What is it like
BsusBsus 
E7E7
Out there where they glow?
A augmentedA G#m13G#m13
Now that I'm older
A augmentedA
Mother might just
BsusBsus
Let me go...
