C Dm7
Fall out of bed and catch a fading star.
Bbmaj
Fancy, I woke up before my alarm.
C Dm7
Rub my mind through my eyes, it’s the best I can do
Bbmaj
Before its automatic habit of returning to you,
C Dm7
Though I smile when it happens; almost as if it was magic.
Bbmaj
It means there’s a God somewhere, and he’s laughing.
C Dm7
And I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchen,
Bbmaj
Still low to the ground, but high on living.
Chorus:
C Dm7 Bbmaj
And I know, I know, it’s gonna be a good day.
C Dm7 Bbmaj
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing.
C Dm7
Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge some aches;
Bbmaj
Must be something I did yesterday.
C Dm7
Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine’s still cold.
Bbmaj
But in a minute, everything’s gonna change,
Chorus:
C Dm7 Bbmaj
’Cause I know, I know, it’s gonna be a good day.
C Dm7 Bbmaj
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing.
C Dm7 Bbmaj
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing.
C Dm7
This is what I’ve been waiting for.
Bbmaj
(This is what I’ve been waiting for.)
C Dm7
This is what I’ve been waiting for.
Bbmaj
(This is what I’ve been waiting for.)

C Dm7 Bbmaj
Looking out from a cul-de-sac, watching the bend of the earth
Take the black of the night from the dirt.
C Dm7
I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes
Bbmaj
A reflection of yesses in that ever-changing sky.
C Dm7
But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake?
Bbmaj
I don’t need no scenes of violence or pain replayed.
C Dm7
And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray,
Bbmaj
But my thoughts are all I’ve got, so I try to make them brave.
Chorus:
C Dm7 Bbmaj
And I know, I know, it’s gonna be a good day.
C Dm7 Bbmaj
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing.
C Dm7 Bbmaj
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing.
C Dm7
Oh, this is what I’ve been waiting for.
Bbmaj
(This is what I’ve been waiting for.)
C Dm7
Oh, this is what I’ve been waiting for.
Bbmaj
(This is what I’ve been waiting for.)
C Dm7
Oh, this is what I’ve been waiting for.
Bbmaj
(This is what I’ve been waiting for.)
C Dm7 Bbmaj9
Oh, this is what I’ve been waiting for
(Hello.)
Chorus:
C Dm7 Bbmaj
And I know, I know, it’s gonna be a good day.
C Dm7 Bbmaj
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing…
