neither the flowers on the hill ,
D#m F#m
or the moonlight on the sea ,
C# G ( B5 ) F# D#m
have ever looked so blue .
C# Gdim F#m6 C#
and everything looks new again ,
F7 C# F#
in that old familiar way .

C# A#7
the view from my room ,
D#m F#m
of the ships on the bay ,
C# G ( B5 ) F# D#m
had come to bore me through and through .
C# Gdim F#m6 C#
but they suddenly seem new again ,
G#m C#7 F#
in that old familiar way .

F7 F# G# G#7 C#
the delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree ,
A E
had long gone unnoticed by me .
F7 F# C#
i’m stunned by what now i finally see .
D#7
it’s amazing the wonders you can find ,
G#7
just by stepping outside .

C# G# F# [ ch ] F#/C# [ /Ch ] C#

there’s a skip in my step , a divine state of joy ,
in everything i do .
cause i Am feeling new again ,
in that old familiar way .

when i’m awoken from my dreams ,
by a cuckoo on the roof ,
i always join in too . ( cuckoo! )
and every sound sounds new again ,
in that old familiar way .

the life i used to know when i was busy , always on the go ,
left me with nothing to show .
now i feel that i can honestly say ,
i’m living a suitable life .
i’m glad i finally got it right .
