Verse 1:
Bm Bm9(maj7)/F#
Open up your eyes and wake up
Bm7 E F#7
Got a lot of time to make up, girl
Bm Bm9(maj7)
Time goes by in such a hurry
Bm7 E F#7
Why’d you sit around and worry so, don’t you know
A C#m
You’ve been living your life in a shell
G#m F#m E
Now’s the time has come to break the spell

Verse 2:
Life is just a book of pages
And you still got so many to fill in
Don’t put down what’s happenin’ around you
Just because they told you it’s a sin
How do you know until you try
Love is callin’ so spread your wings and fly
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
C#m7-5 F#7 Bm
Got so many things to show you
C#m7-5 F#7 Bm
Groovy things that we can share together

Baby, no no no don’t be afraid of tomorrow
