| When I wake up in the | morning, love | and the | sunlight | hurts my eyes. |

| And something without | warning, love | bears heavy on my | mind. |

| Then I look at you, | and the world’s | alright with me. |
| Cm7/F | Dm7/G | Cm7 | Dm7 | |
| Just one look at you, | and I know it’s | gonna be. |
