In the (G)morn ing, watch the new day rise.
We (D)do what ev er just to (Em7)stay a (Am11)live,

Well, the (G)way I feel is the way I ride,

but (G)there is a truth, and it’s on our side:
(Em7)dawn is com ing; (D)o pen your (C)eyes.

And (G)I will (Am)wait for (G)you to (C)night.
You’re (D)here for ev er and you’re (Em7)by my (A7sus)side.
