[Verse 1]
[E] When I wake up in the [C#m7] morning love [Amaj7] 
[Amaj7] And the sunlight hurts my eyes [Cmaj7] [Bm7] 
[E] And something without [C#m7] warning love [Amaj7] 
[Amaj7] Bears heavy on my [Cmaj7] mind 
 
[Pre-chorus]
[Am7/D-x55555] Then I look at you [Bm7/E-077777] 
And the world's a [Am7] lright with me [Bm7] 
[Am7/D] Just one look at you [Bm7/E] 
And I know it's [Am7] gonna be [Bm7] 
 
[Chorus]
A lovely [E] day (Lovely day lovely day [C#m7] lovely day lovely day 
[Amaj7] lovely day lovely day [Cmaj7] lovely day lovely [Bm7] day)
A lovely [E] day (Lovely day lovely day [C#m7] lovely day lovely day 
[Amaj7] lovely day lovely day [Cmaj7] lovely day lovely [Bm7] day)
 
[Verse 2]
[E] When the day that lies [C#m7] ahead of me [Amaj7] 
[Amaj7] Seems impossible to face [Cmaj7] [Bm7] 
[E] When someone else in [C#m7] stead of me [Amaj7] 
[Amaj7] Always seems to know the [Cmaj7] way 
 
[Pre-chorus]
[Am7/D] Then I look at you [Bm7/E] 
And the world's a [Am7] lright with me [Bm7] 
[Am7/D] Just one look at you [Bm7/E] 
And I know it's [Am7] gonna be [Bm7] 
 
[Chorus]
A lovely [E] day (Lovely day lovely day [C#m7] lovely day lovely day 
[Amaj7] lovely day lovely day [Cmaj7] lovely day lovely [Bm7] day)
A lovely [E] day (Lovely day lovely day [C#m7] lovely day lovely day 
[Amaj7] lovely day lovely day [Cmaj7] lovely day lovely [Bm7] day)
 
[Verse 3]
[E] When the day that lies a [C#m7] head of me [Amaj7] 
[Amaj7] Seems impossible to face [Cmaj7] [Bm7] 
[E] When someone else in [C#m7] stead of me [Amaj7] 
[Amaj7] Always seems to know the [Cmaj7] way 
 
[Pre-chorus]
[Am7/D] Then I look at you [Bm7/E] 
And the whole world's a [Am7] lright with me [Bm7] 
[Am7/D] Just one look at you [Bm7/E] 
And I know it's [Am7] gonna be [Bm7] 
 
[Chorus - x 2 or fade]
A lovely [E] day (Lovely day lovely day [C#m7] lovely day lovely day 
[Amaj7] lovely day lovely day [Cmaj7] lovely day lovely [Bm7] day)
A lovely [E] day (Lovely day lovely day [C#m7] lovely day lovely day
