Verse:
GCGCGCGC
Let's be undecided, let's take our time
DCDGCGC
And sooner or later we will know our mind
GCGCGCGC
We'll be on the outside, we won't care
DCDGCGC
Because we're together, that's somewhere
Chorus:
CDCDGCGC
And there's a big day coming, 'bout a mile away
CDCG
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait
GCGCGCGC
Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps,
CDCDGCGC
The way that we used to, without a plan
GCGCGCGC
We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence,
CDCDGCGC
And it'll sound pretty good, till I forget how it ends
Chorus:
CDCDGCGC
And there's a big day coming, 'bout a mile away
CDCG
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait
GCGCGCGC
I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep,
CDGDGCGC
'Cause I'd been thinking of where it all would lead
GCGCGCGC
So I made you wake up, said, "Let's take a walk,
CDCDGCGC
I wanna hold your hand, we don't have to talk"
Chorus:
CDCDGCGC
And there's a big day coming, 'bout a mile away
CDCG
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait
GCGCGC
I can hardly wait
GCGCGC
I can hardly wait.
