Lyrics

The heart is a bloom,

shoots (D)up through (D)the sto (A)ny ground.

But there’s no room,

no space to (D)rent in (A)this town.

You’re out of luck,

and the (D)rea son that (D)you had (A)to care, the traf fic is stuck

and you’re not (D)mov in’ (D)a ny (A)where.

You though you’d found a (E7sus4)friend

to take you (D)out of this (A)place.

Some one you (E7sus4)could lend a (G)hand in re (D)turn for (A)grace.

It’s a beau ti ful day.

The sky falls.

(A)And you feel like it’s a beau ti ful day.

Don’t (D)let it get a (A)way You’re on the road

and the (D)rea son that (D)you had (A)to care, the traf fic is stuck

and you’re not (D)mov in’ (D)a ny (A)where.

You though you’d found a (E7sus4)friend

to take you (D)out of this (A)place.

Some one you (E7sus4)could lend a (G)hand in re (D)turn for (A)grace.

It’s a beau ti ful day.

The sky falls.

(A)And you feel like it’s a beau ti ful day.

Don’t (D)let it get a (A)way You’re on the road

(F#m)Touch (Gsus2)me,

(D5)take me (Dsus2)to that (A)oth er place.

(F#m)Teach me,

I (D5)know I’m (Dsus2)not a (A)hope less case.

See the world in green and blue.

See Chi na right in front of you.

See the can yons (G)brok en by cloud.

See the tu na fleets clear ing the sea out.

See the Bed ouin (G)fires at night.

See the oil fields at first light

see the bird with a (G)leaf in her mouth.

Af ter the flood all the (Asus4)col ours came out.

(A)ad

It was a beau ti ful case.

What you (A6)don’t (B7sus2)have you (D)don’t need (Gmaj7)it now.

What you (D)don’t know you can feel it some how.

What you (A6)don’t (B7sus2)have you don’t need (Gmaj7)it now.

You don’t (D)need it now.

It’s a beau ti ful day.
