[Verse 1]
Am7 D9 Rolled out of bed, shoes whisper on my feet, E7#9 Am7 Sunrise peeking gently, warming up the street. Am7 D9 The city breathes easy, slow to wake today, E7#9 Am7 My heart hums softly, music leads the way.
Verse Lick: (Jazz-infused, post-verse fill – use swing feel, chromaticism, and enclosure)

Am7 D9 Early in the morning, stepping to the beat, E7#9 Am7 Rhythm in my soul, life tastes sweet. Am7 D9 Sun spills softly, gold across the street, E7#9 Am7 Early in the morning, life tastes sweet.

[Rap Bridge]
Am7 Sunrise paints horizons, I’m dialed in, D9 Heart syncopated, let the groove begin. Am7 Footsteps drumming softly, on concrete stage, D9 City rhythm flowing, turning life's next page. Am7 No tension, just attention, clear and bright, D9 Every move intentional, feeling just right. Am7 Morning unfolds slowly, gentle and true, D9 Life’s a jazz session, and I’m playing through.
