[E] [Am]
[F#] [E] [F]
[E] [B]
[E] [A] [Gm] [B]
[E] I [C#m] like the sunrise
[D] Cause [A]
[E] [A] it brings a [G] new [B] day
[E] I [C#m] like a new [D] day
[A]
[E] It brings [B] new [Gm] hope, they [D] say
[E] I [B] [C#m] like the
[D] sunrise
[C#m]
[E] [Bm] Blazing in the [Em] new [F#m] sky
[G#m]
[E] Nighttime [C#m] is [F#m] weary
[E] Oh, [B] the
[C] moment is so am [D]
I
[E] Every evening [G#m] I wish upon [Dm] a star
[C#] That my brand new [D] bright tomorrow
[E] Isn't very [D#] far
[E] When the heavy [A] blue curtain [D#m] of [B] night
Is [A#] raised [C#m] up high
Clear out of [D#]
[E] sight
[G#] Then [C#m] I like the [F#m] sunrise
[A]
[E] So heavenly [Em] to [F#m] see
[D#m]
[E] I [C#m] like the sunrise
[F#m] [A]
I [E] hope [F#m] it likes [E] for [F#] me
[Bm]
[E] Don't [C#m]
[D] worry about saving [A] this [E]
music
Or be scared [F#] if the singing [Em] ends
Or the piano [F#m] breaks a [D#m]
string
[E] For we have [C#m] fallen to a place
[D] Where everything [E] is music and singing
[B] Everything [A] is recovered and [E] [Am] new
[D#] Ever [F#] new and [E] musical
And [G#m] even
[E] if the whole [A] world's harp
Should burn up
[E] There would still [Bm] be hidden [E] there
The spirit [Cm] of song [D#] there to linger [E] on
And even if [B] a [F#] [A] candle's blown out by [G#] wind
The fire smolders on in [C] an ember
And [Gm] [G#] then sparks [E] again
The singing is [G#m] a drop
Just [D#] a drop in [Dm]
oceans of [C#m] seas
Grace [F#] [D] keeps it [E] moving
[Bm] Through bodies [F#m] like
[E] these
And the [D] sound of [F#] a life
[A#m] Sends an echoing [E] out
The [F#] poem sings [C#m]
willingly
In each newborn's [D#] crying [G#m] shout
But it's [B] growing [F#m] slowly
And keeps many [C#m] secrets
[E] Stop the [Am] words and listen
[C] [D] Feel the echo [B] of it starting
[E] [C#m] Open a [E] space
[D] In [A] the center of your beating [E] heart
And [F#m] let spirit
[A] [C] fly
[D]
[E] [C#m]
[F#m] [A] [E]
[F#]
[G] [B]
[E] [C#m]
[F#m] [C#m]
[B] [E] [A]
[E] [F#]
Every [E] evening [B] I wish [Fm] upon a star
[F#m] That my [C#m] brand new [D] bright tomorrow
[E] [F#m] Isn't [B] very far
[E] When the heavy blue [A]
curtain [G#m] of the [F] night
[D#m] Is [A#] raised up high
[F#m] Clear out [C#m] of [D#] sight
[E] Then [C#m] I, like the [F#m] sunrise
[A]
[E] So [F#] [Em] heavenly to see
[B] [D#]
I, [G#m] [C#m] like the sunrise
[F#m] [A]
The [F#m] music in every sunrise
Makes a space [A] inside the skies
[E] For setting free
[Am] [C] [D] [Gm]
