            G                                       Em
Well, you didn't wake up this morning, because you didn't go to bed,
            A                         C
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red,
G               Em                 A            C
   The calendar on your wall is ticking ...the days off,
               G               Em
You've been reading some old letters, 
      A                   C
You smile, and think how much you've changed,
G                Em                A           C
   All the money in the world ...couldn't buy back those days!


G                      G/B              C                   A
   You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,
G                      G/B           C                 A
   You watch a plane flying ...a - cross a clear blue sky,
G              G/B          C                 A
   This is the day... your life will surely change,
G              G/B           C                A
   This is the day... when things fall into place!


  G      Em        A     C

G                       Em      A              C
   You could've done anything,      if you'd wanted,
     G                     Em       A                 C
And all your friends, and family, think that you're lucky,
G                                Em
   But, the side of you they'll never see,
                A                     C
Is when you're left alone with the memories...
      G        Em          A         C         G
That hold your life to - gether like  ...glue----!

G                      G/B           C                 A
   You watch a plane flying ...a - cross a clear blue sky,
