[Verse 1]
G Em
Well, you didn't wake up this morning, because you didn't go to bed,
A C
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red,
G Em A C
The calendar on your wall is ticking ...the days off,
G Em
You've been reading some old letters,
A C
You smile, and think how much you've changed,
G Em A C
All the money in the world ...couldn't buy back those days
[Chorus]
G (G/A) G/B C * A *
You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,
G (G/A) G/B C * A *
You watch a plane--- flying ...a - cross a clear blue sky,
G (G/A) G/B C * A *
This is the day ...your life will surely change,
G (G/A) G/B C * A *
This is the day ...when things fall into place

But, the side of you they'll never see,
