Verse 1: First Girl
Dm
I think about that day
G
I left him at a Greyhound station
C
West of Santa Fé
A Dm
We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true
G C
Still I did what I had to do
Am
‘Cause I just knew
Summer: Sunday nights
We’d sink into our seats
Right as they dimmed out all the lights
A Technicolor world made out of music and machine
It called me to be on that screen
And live inside each scene
Pre-Chorus 1: First Girl & First Man
F
Without a nickel to my name
G
Hopped a bus, here I came
Am
Could be brave or just insane
We’ll have to see [First Girl] F
‘Cause maybe in that sleepy town
G
He’ll sit one day, the lights are down
C
He’ll see my face and think of how he… [First Girl, First Man, Second Man & Dancers] E
…used to know me
Chorus: All
F
Climb these hills
G Am
I’m reaching for the heights
Dm G C
And chasing all the lights that shine
Am G
And when they let you down
Am G
You’ll get up off the ground
Am G
‘Cause morning rolls around
C E
And it’s another day of sun
Verse 2: Young Man
I hear ’em ev’ry day
The rhythms in the canyons
That’ll never fade away
The ballads in the barrooms
Left by those who came before
They say “you gotta want it more”
So I bang on ev’ry door
Pre-Chorus 2: Second Girl
And even when the answer’s “no”
Or when my money’s running low
The dusty mic and neon glow
Are all I need
A small-town kid’ll come along [Second Girl & Young Man] That’ll be the thing to push him on and go go
Chorus: All
Climb these hills
I’m reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You’ll get up off the ground
‘Cause morning rolls around
And it’s another day of sun

Bridge: First Girl
And when they let you down
The morning rolls around
It’s another day of sun
It’s another day of sun
It’s another day of sun
Just another day of sun
It’s another day of sun
Another day has just begun
It’s another day of sun
Outro:
It’s another day of sun
