when i woke this morning , something inside of me , told me this would be my day
Em F#m Em D
i heard the morning train , i felt the wind change , too many times i m on my way

A D G D
come on sunshine , what can you show me
G D E7 A
where can you take me to make me understand
G D G D
the wind can shake me , brothers forsake me
G D G Asus4
the rain can touch me , but can i touch the rain

D Em F#m Em D
and then i saw the sunrise , above the cotton sky , like a candy cane delight
Em F#m Em D
i saw the milkman , i saw the business man , i saw the only road in sight
Em F#m Em D
then i got to thinking , what makes you want to go , to know the wherefore and the why
Em F#m Em D
so many times now , oh lord i can t remember , if its september or july

D Em A D
Em F#m Em D
then all at once it came to me , i saw the wherefore , and you can see it if you try
Em F#m Em D
it s in the sun above , its in the one you love , you ll never know the reason why

A D G D
come on sunshine , what can you show me
G D E7 A
where can you take me to make me understand
G D G D
the wind can shake me , brothers forsake me
G D G Asus4
the rain can touch me , but can i touch the rain

so much to lose , so much to gain

D Em F#m Em D
