Intro: C  F  C  F  G  C
              F                G                  C
Early morning sunrise come and pull the song from me
   F                           C          G
So I can turn away and rest my tired eyes
  C                F             G          C
I can't escape the haunting of a lonely melody
   F                                C          G
It runs around and 'round without a compromise
    F               G   C        ~     F
So, where you gonna go, what you gonna do
                      G          C        ~      F
You know I can't say "No", can't say good-bye to you
                 G           C        ~     F    
I can't stop the flow, 'till you've decided to
          G   C/G Ab Bb F C  F  C  F  G  C
Hm hm hm, hmm hmm hmmmmmmmm
                     F             G                  C
The song runs like a piper, like a drummer through my brain
    F                             C            G
The silence all around, feels so apart from me
C               F               G                C
I could sit and cry for all the love and all the pain
     F                              C       G
That brings itself to mind inside a harmony
    F               G            C        ~       F
The softest morning light, can't shine as soft as you
                     G            C       ~        F
The sweetest love in sight, can't love me like you do
                     G             C         ~       F    
The swiftest bird in flight, can't climb the path to you
          G   C/G Ab Bb F C  F  C  F  G  C
Hm hm hm, hmm hmm hmmmmmmmm
Instrumental: C  F  C  F  G  C   (2x)
               F                G               C
Now it's fully dawn and nightly silence breaks away
  F                                 C         G
Into the distant sounds of cars and factories
C             F             G             C
Traces linger on and slowly fade into the day
    F                                      C          G
And leave me with these rounds all humming back to me
    F             G        C      ~       F
So, now I bid you well and take myself to bed
                    G        C        ~      F
The tune you had to tell was soft and kindly said
             G          C       ~     F    
I still feel swell from all you comforted
          G   C/G Ab Bb F C  
Hm hm hm, hmm hmm hmmmmmmmm
