 Bm                  D
One bright morning changes all things
 G            Em7
Soft and easy as your breathing
Bm7
You wake
                                    D
Your eyes open at first a thousand miles away
                                   G
But turning shoot a silver bullet point-blank range
                                     D
And I can scarce believe what I'm believing in
       F#                      G
Could this be how every day begins?

Chorus:
                D
The sky set to burst
                  B
The gold and the rust
The colour erupts
G               D
You filling my cup
               B
The sun coming up

                        D  A  
Like I lived my whole life
                  B  G
Before the first light
                       D
Like I lived my whole life
                  B
Before the first light

One bright morning goes so easy
Darkness always finds you either way
It creeps into the corners as the moment fades
A voice your body jumps to calling out your name
But after this I'm never gonna be the same
And I am never going back again

The sky set to burst
The gold and the rust
The colour erupts
You filling my cup
The sun coming up

Chorus:
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright morning comes)
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright morning comes)
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright morning comes)
Yeah, like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright morning comes)

Yeah, yeah, like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright morning comes)
