[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]The light was[C] shining
in my eyes before I [G]closed them
[Am]And all the [C]dreams I had the
[Am]night before came [D]back
[G]The faces tha[C]t I'd seen
looked so fa[G]miliar
[Am]But they're just[C] strangers,
I [Am]haven't met them [D]yet

[Verse 2]
[B]I know the mor[Em]ning is
[C]wiser than the [G]evening
[B]I know that wro[Em]ng and right
[C]can sometimes look the [G]same
[Ebdim]So many thin[B]gs I [Em]know,
[C]but they don't help me[G]
[Am]Each day I open [C]up my
[Am]eyes and start [D]again

[Verse 3]
[G]The light comes shi[C]ning
in my eye[G]s

[Verse 4]
So many [Am]stories [C]I want to tell you[G]
[Am]I wish that I co[C]uld show you
the [Am]many things I've [D]seen
[G]You and you[C]r daddy,
you both look like [G]poets
[Am]Your eyes are [C]open wide
while [Am]you are in a d[D]ream

[Verse 5]
[B]I know the mor[Em]ning is wis[C]er
than [G]the nighttime
[B]I know there's not[Em]hing wrong,
I [C]shouldn't feel so [G]down

[C]but they don't hel[G]p me
[Am]Each day I ope[C]n up my
[Am]eyes to look [D]around

[Verse 6]
[G]The sun comes shi[C]ning
in my eye[G]s
The sun comes [C]shining in my [G]eyes
The sun comes [C]shining in my eye[G]s
The sun comes [C]shining [G]in my [D]eyes[G]

[Verse 7]
Are [Em]closed [D]now[G][C]
Count [G]the stars in[Am]side your [D]mind[G]
Count the breaths,
[Em]count hear[G]tbeats[C]
Count [G]the sounds of [Am]life

[Verse 8]
[D]The [G]light was[C] shining in my
eyes before I [G]closed them
[Am]And all the [C]dreams I had the
