F        C7                               F
Ah, the sunlight hits the corner of your eye
C7                             D#
As it bounces off the morning sky
Dm                              A#
The summer in the seventy's fly by, by

Ah, daylight hits the corners of your mind
Steals the thought you thought no one could find
Close your eyes, and it will rob you blind, blind

Chorus:
C7  A#  Am
Ah, ah, ah
A#          F          C7
Incidental memories collide
C7  A#  Am
Ah, ah, ah
A#           F         C7
Sentimental reveries abide
C7         F
Afternoon high

Ah, daylight hits the corners of your mouth
Steals the words that filled you up with doubt
Open up and let them all fall out, out

Ah, honey smoothes the wrinkles from your bed
Gone are the indentations of your head
Leaving just the frown upon your forehead, head

Chorus

C7  A#  Am
Ah, ah, ah
A#              F           C7
Worry works a wrinkle over time
C7  A#  Am
Ah, ah, ah
A#             F              C7
Open eyes and let it rob you blind
C7  A#  Am
Ah, ah, Ah
A#          F          C7
Incidental memories collide
C7  A#  Am
Ah, ah, ah
A#              F                    C7
People tell me you'vee been blinded by
C7            F  C7
On afternoon high
              F  C7
On afternoon high
              F  C7
On afternoon high
           F  C7 F
Afternoon high
