[Verse 1]
              
The heart is a

  
 bloom
            
Shoots up thro

              
ugh the stony 

    
ground
              
There's no roo

    
m

No space to re

nt in this tow

n
             
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


[Chorus]
             
It's a beautif

      
ul day
             
Sky falls, you

         
 feel like
             
It's a beautif

       
ul day
             
Don't let it g

       
et away


[Verse 2]
              
You're on the 

     
road
             
But you've got

             
 no destinatio


n
              
You're in the 

    
mud
             
In the maze of

              
 her imaginati

 
on
              
You love this 

       
town
             
Even if that d

              
oesn't ring tr

  
ue
            
You've been al

     
l over
             
And it's been 

           
all over you


[Chorus]
             
It's a beautif

     
ul day
             
Don't let it g

      
et away
             
It's a beautif

Ooh-hoo-hoo


[Bridge]
       
Touch me
             
Take me to tha

          
t other place
          
Teach me
             
I know I'm not

             
 a hopeless ca

[Verse 3]

See the world 

in green and b

lue

See China righ

t in front of 

you
            
See the canyon

    
s broken by cl

See the tuna f

leets clearing

 the sea out
            
See the Bedoui

     
n fires at nig

See the oil fi

elds at first 

light
            
And see the bi

      
rd with a leaf

 in her mouth

After the floo

d all the colo

urs came out


[Chorus]
             
It's a beautif

Don't let it g

Beautiful day

  


[Bridge]
        
Touch me
             
Take me to tha

Reach me
