[Eb]The scenery's changing and it warms my soul

[Eb]And we'll together leave our footprints upon a virgin snow
[Eb]That ancient [Bb]sunrise [Cm] [Ab] will soon descend
[Eb]And we'll be [Bb]left here pondering on the [Cm]things [Ab]which you cannot change
[Eb]So let's start over with no means to an end
[Eb]Just in [Bb]love and out of hope and a [Cm]closed hand,[Ab] full of friends

Verse
[Eb]Every [Bb]morning[Cm] [Ab] when the coffee's [Eb]on

Couldn’t [Eb]see in it's light, I [Ab]couldn't kneel in its altar
[Cm]All I wanted was a turn right down to the [Bb]promising
Through this [Eb]fleeting [Ab]culture
And [Bb]hide away from the [Eb]wolves and the [Ab]vultures
[Cm]All they wanted was to tear me right down to the [Bb]ground
Oh, I'm [Eb]feeling alright, I [Bb]am now, yeah, I'm [Eb]feeling [Ab]alright
