A G/B (Lead In)
C G
Early light that burns my eyes,
Am E
A minute more the sun will rise
F/C C G13 (Figure)
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
C G
I'll be dead asleep by then,
Am E
Shut up in this box again
Bm7b5 E
Until it's gone
Bm7b5 E
Outside I can hear it
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A A G/B
I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed
C Dm7 C(alt) Dm7(alt)
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way
Amaj7 A7sus2 D Bm7b5
One more blue sunny day
Verse 2
A G/B (Lead In)
C G
Looking for an easy mark
Am E
I hit the Denny's after dark
F/C C G13(Figure)
To take a lonely waitress home to drink,
C G
She's sincere, but halfway through
Am E
I find I'm wishing she was you
Bm7b5 E
My blood goes cold
Bm7b5 E
I guess this date is over
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A
Several hours later I'm the only one awake
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A A G/B (Lead In)
All these streets are empty, it's just me and my mistake
C Dm7 C(alt) Dm7(alt)
One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray
Amaj7 A7sus2 D Bm7b5
One more blue sunny day
Bridge
Bm7b5 Amaj7
Sometimes I see how long I can wait
Am7 D9
Tempting disaster by my garden gate
Bm7b5 Amaj7
My trembling hand on the cellar door
Am7 D7 B7 E
Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for
Interlude

Verse 3
C G
All at once I've had enough
Am E
As if I'm made of sterner stuff
F/C C G13 (figure)
I take a breath and open up the door
C G
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me
Am E
For just one moment I can see
Bm7b5 E
The pale blue sky
Bm7b5 E
I close my eyes because
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A
The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away
A Bm/A C#m/A D/A A G/B (Lead In)
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day
C Dm7 C(alt) Dm7(alt)
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away
Amaj7 A7sus2 D Bm11b5
One more blue sunny day

version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Just a note about the '/' chords as the chord name seems to be misunderstood
or misused quite frequently. These are chords which are standard chords played
with an alternate note in the bass. So the chord goes before the / and the
note after the / is the bass note added. So as you notice Bm/A contains a
Bm triad in a different order, also known as an inversion, so you have F#
which is the 5th (the 4th fret on the D string), then B which is the
root (the 4th fret on the G string), then D which is the minor third (the 3rd
fret on the B string). This then allows the added bass note to be at the
bottom, which in this case is the open A string.
Capo on 2nd fret
