In the morning when you rise,
                              G
Do you open up your eyes, see what I see?
       G                         G
Do you see the same things ev'ry day?
       G                           F
Do you think of a way to start the day
                     Em
Getting things in proportion?
           C                 D         F
Spread the news and help the world go 'round.
         G                                          G
Have you heard of a time that will help us get it together again?
         G                                         G
Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong?
          G                                F
Well, the time is near and the word you'll hear
                          Em
When you get things in perspective.
           C                 D       F           Em      E
Spread the news and help the word go round.


          C            Em                   Am
There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me,
     Fm                            C
It's right for me, and the time is now.
          C            Em                    Am
There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me,
     Fm                            C
It's right for me, and the word is love.


         G                                       G
Have you heard of a time that will help get it together again?
         G                                         G
Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong?
          G                                F
Well, the time is near and the word you'll hear
                          Em
When you get things in perspective.
           C                 D       F           Em      E
Spread the news and help the word go round.


          C            Em                   Am
There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me,
     Fm                            C
It's right for me, and the time is now.
          C            Em                    Am
There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me,

It's right for me, and the word is love.
