Verse 1:
G+G      Cadd9Cadd9
The heart is a bloom
E minor 7Em7         Dadd4/F#
Shoots up through the stony ground
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9
There's no room
E minor 7Em7       Dadd4/F#
No space to rent in this town
G+G      Cadd9Cadd9
You're out of luck
E minor 7Em7       Dadd4/F#
And the reason that you had to care
G+G       Cadd9Cadd9
The traffic is stuck
E minor 7Em7        Dadd4/F#
And you're not moving anywhere
Dadd4/F#        G+G
You thought you'd found a friend
Cadd9Cadd9          Dadd4/F#
To take you out of this place
Dadd4/F#        G+G
Someone you could lend a hand
Cadd9Cadd9     Dadd4/F#
In return for grace

Chorus:
G+G        Cadd9Cadd9
It's a beautiful day
E minor 7Em7     Dadd4/F#
Sky falls, you feel like

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

Verse 2:

You're on the road
E minor 7Em7     Dadd4/F#
But you've got no destination
G+G      Cadd9Cadd9
You're in the mud
E minor 7Em7     Dadd4/F#
In the maze of her imagination
G+G      Cadd9Cadd9
You love this town
E minor 7Em7     Dadd4/F#
Even if that doesn't ring true
G+G      Cadd9Cadd9
You've been all over
E minor 7Em7     Dadd4/F#
And it's been all over you

After the flood all the colors came out
