Verse:
G           Am            G             C
Morning has come with the first rays of sun
         G           D/F#  C/E
Breaking through our windowpane;
G              Am              G         C
Songs fill the air but there's no singer there
        G          D/F#   C/E
Just an old wooden guitar playing.

(Repeat Intro)

Verse:
Writing this song won't take very long
Trying hard not to use the world "old"
Thinking about taking chances and doubts
That still linger in the cold.

Chorus:
C       G        D/F#           Am (walk up A, B...)
Looking forward, all that I can see
C              G            D/F#       Am (walk up A, B...)
Is good things happening to you and to me
C       G           D/F#     Am            
I'm not waiting for times to change
G         Am          G            C
I'm gonna live like a free-roaming soul
       G       D/F#   C/E
On the highway of our love
