E                       F#
The gentleman's in the lane

Em                         C
Spinning his hat on a cane

          A                C
Stepping out, out for a change

              D                    F     C
Good morning all, it's a beautiful day

E                             F#
The generals are winning the war

Em                    C           A
Seemed suicidal before you came along

        C
Now, now

Morning had to come, I'd be walking in the sun

               A
Living in the day

         C                                   E
But last night I was about to throw it all away

E                      F#
If patience started a band

    Em               C
I'd be her biggest fan

         A                  C
Look at me, I'm talking to you

             D                F      C
I don't want the lead in your play

E                              F#
The star's just a part of the scene

    Em               C
The gentleman in green

        A                 C
Paying off, out on the street

I can't go home, it's not on my way

Things I've never done, cars parked in the sun

Living in the day

But last night I was about to throw it all away

Last night I was about to throw it all away

     C                                  E
Last night I was about to throw it all away

     C                                  E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
