Hello You Beautiful Thing

Intro: Fall out of bed and catch a fading star Fancy I woke up before my alarm Rubbed my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do Before its automatic habit of returning to you Though I smile as it happens, almost as if it was magic It means there's a god somewhere and he's laughing And I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchen (one strum) Still low to the ground, but high on living And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge them aches It must be something I did yesterday Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold (one strum) But in a minute everything's gonna change And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Hello, hello, you beautiful thing This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for) This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for) Instrumental break (only change of chords): Looking out from a cul-de-sac watching the bend of the earth Take the black of the night from the dirt I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes A reflection of yeses and that ever-changing sky But why do bad dreams linger long after I wake? I don't need no scenes of violence and pain replayed And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray (one strum) But my thoughts are all I got so I try to make them brave And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Hello, hello, you beautiful thing This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for) This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for) This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for) (one strum) This is what I've been waiting for (Hello) And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day (one strum) Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
