You're out of
luck
and the reason
that you had
to care,
the traffic is
stuck
and you're not
moving anywhe
re.
You thought yo
u'd found a fr
iend
to take you ou
t of this plac
e
Someone you co
uld lend a han
d
in return for
grace
It's a beautiful day

The sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Riff 1 (more heavily):
You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Riff 2:
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me,
take me to
the other plac
e
Teach me,
I know I'm
not a hopeless
case
[Riff 1] (with the old chords A Bm D..)
See the world
in green and b
lue
See China righ
t in front of
you
See the canyon
s broken my cl
oud
See the tuna f
leets clearing
the sea out
See the bedoui
n fires at nig
ht
See the olis f
ields at first
light
See the bird w
ith a leaf inh
er mouth
After the floo
d all the colo
urs came out
It was a beautiful day
Riff 2:
Beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Riff 3:
Touch me,
take me to t
hat other plac
e
Reach me,
i know i'm n
ot a hopeless
case
