The heart is a bloom, shoots u p through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the r eason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not m ovin' anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend to take you ou t of this place
Someone you could lend a h and in ret urn for grace
It's a beautiful day,
T he sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day,
Don’t le t it get away
You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud, in the maz e of her imagination
You love this town e ven if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all ov er a nd it’s bee n all over you
It's a beautiful day,
Don't l et it get away
It's a beautiful day,
Tou ch me, t ake me to that other place
Tea ch me l ove, I k now I’m not a hopeless case
A Bm D/D G/D A/A
Cm
See the world in green and blue
B♭
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
B♭
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
B♭
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
A fter the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't l et it get away
A beautiful day
Tou ch me, t ake me to that other place
Rea ch me, I k now I'm not a hopeless case
What you don’t have you do n’t need it now
What you d on’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t ne ed it now
Don’t ne ed it now
It was a beautiful day
