[Verse 1]
D Gsus2 D
Sunrise came with a calm across the clouds
D Gsus2 D
Big, blue sky and the sounds of life all around
D D9
Well the bells were ringin' and those birds they were singin'
G G/F# E7
But there was nothing he could say to change her mind
[Chorus]
D
'Cause though he'd once walk beside her
A7 D A7
Now she's just walkin' by
[Verse 2]
D Gsus2 D
Starin' at the ceiling, watching clock hands tick so slow
D Gsus2 D
Glaring at the TV, read the paper, maybe turn on the radio
D
Now he's sittin' all alone,
D9
gettin' high, he's gettin' low
G G/F# E7
He'll have to take a second look on down the line
[Chorus]
D
'Cause though he'd once walk beside her
A7 D A7 D
Now she's just walkin' by
*Single Bass note Walk Up

[Bridge]
Em A7
They'd share in their company
D D/E G G/F#
Like a summer light lays on a bed of leaves
Em A7
and as he'd close his eye to the world
D D/E G G/F#
All he could hear was her sweet, pulling melodies

Sunrise came with a calm across the clouds

Well the bells were ringin' and those birds they kept on singin'

Made him smile as his eyes would open wide
