Intro:  D  Bm  G  Em  A (x2)
 
A                       G A
Wake up baby look around,  birds sing, ooh that sound 
   F                       G
Reminds me of a line from Unchained Melody 
A                          G A
Feel like I'm a little girl,  best thing in the whole wide world 
   F                     G
Is I can see the makings of a memory 
Em                 A
I remember how it used to be well I'm still dreaming, cause...
D          Bm                      G
I dream of simple things I can believe in 
          A                 D
Like the feeling this day brings 
D                  Bm            G
True love and the miracle of forgiving 
      A
I believe in simple things 
A                             G A
Ain't nothing like a sunny day,  chit-chat at a street cafe 
      F                      G
Just paint the picture baby where you wanna be 
A                       G A
Take a walk, take a ride,  so far you and I 
       F                       G
Don't need a plan but we can share this reverie
Em                A
I remember how I used to want it all 
Em             A
Funny now the big things seem so small 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
G                C                   G
Through all the days, the blues the grays 
          C
A ray of light keeps shining
 
 
Em  C  (x3)   D  Bm  G      Em              G
                       I believe in simple things
G                C                   Em
Through all the days, the blues the grays 
          C
A ray of light was shining
