[Intro] x4
G – Em – D

[Verse]
G                             Em                                     D
Pull the windows down, the night was young
Am                   C                   D                   D
So we’d hide under the sheets until the dawn
G                                     Em                   D
We were calling out familiar thoughts
Am                   C                   D                                     D
When we’d find spaces that we once dreamed of

Am                                     Em
Bright eyes, taking in
Am                                                       Em
Wondering, wondering when it begins
Am                   Em
Quiet sky open mind
C                                     D
All of fear cast aside
G
Sunrise
C                   Em                                      D
I have run this far still I find you
G
Sunrise
C                                                                         Em
Show my weary heart that a new day will soon arrive

New day will soon arrive

[Instrumental]
G – Em – D
G                                     Em                   D
Pull the windows down to the wild wind
Am                   C                   D                   D
Better days arrive darling if we let them in
Am                   Em
Quiet sky open mind
C                                     D
All of fear cast aside

G
Sunrise
C                   Em                   D
I have run this far still I find you
