Verse: 
F                                   Dm7               BbM7  
When I wake up in the morning love  
BbM7                                     C#   D#  
And the sun it hurts my eyes  
F                                      Dm7             BbM7

Weighs heavy on my mind

And the whole world seems alright with me  
BbM7                          Cm7  
Just one look at you  
                          BbM7      Cm7  
And I know its gonna be

F                                     Dm7               BbM7 
When the day that lies ahead of me  
BbM7                                 C#    D# 
Seems impossible to face  
F                                  Dm7              BbM7  
When someone else instead of me

Always seems to know the way
