[Verse 1]
E Asus2 E
Sunrise came with a calm across the clouds
E Asus2 E
Big, blue sky and the sounds of life all around
E E9
Well the bells were ringin' and those birds they were singin'
A A/G# F#7
But there was nothing he could say to change her mind
[Chorus]
E
'Cause though he'd once walk beside her
B7 E B7
Now she's just walkin' by
[Verse 2]
E Asus2 E
Starin' at the ceiling, watching clock hands tick so slow
E Asus2 E
Glaring at the TV, read the paper, maybe turn on the radio
E
Now he's sittin' all alone,
E9
gettin' high, he's gettin' low
A A/G# F#7
He'll have to take a second look on down the line
[Chorus]
E
'Cause though he'd once walk beside her
B7 E B7 E
Now she's just walkin' by
*Single Bass note Walk Up

[Bridge]
F#m B7
They'd share in their company
E E/F# A A/G#
Like a summer light lays on a bed of leaves
F#m B7
and as he'd close his eye to the world
E E/F# A A/G#
All he could hear was her sweet, pulling melodies

Sunrise came with a calm across the clouds

Big, blue sky and the sounds of life all around
E E9
Well the bells were ringin' and those birds they kept on singin'
A A/G# F#7
Made him smile as his eyes would open wide
