Intro: C-F

   C                   F
Growing sleepy as the rain falls 
      C                                F
As children draped in flowers form a chain 
      C                                F
They sing a song with jelly jars and bird calls 
     C                             F
As night falls into dust and it's day again 


     C                                 F
I'm not afraid of a love parade in my daydream 
 C                                F
Old men with kazoos and beating drums 
    C                                   F
But I awake and I see the streets are ice cream 
           C                  F
It's just you and me and oh dear, our life has just begun 

C-Bb-C-Bb-F


CHORUS
--------------------------------------------
                        C-Bb-C-Bb-F
Everything is beautiful here 
                                C-Bb-C-Bb-F
It's spinning circles around my ears 
                                C-Bb-C-Bb-F
I'm finally breaking free from fear 
 F (muted)      F
And it's fading 

--------------------------------------------
                                      C
Oh beautiful smiles, won't you stay awhile 
                  F                    C
We could close the door and sleep all day 
                  F                              C
It's a September sky with pretty pictures in my mind 
                  F              C
That's lost its feeling of so afraid 


Repeat chorus, repeat first verse, repeat chorus again

then F to C for a while, end on C.
