G                    Am                  G                C
Morning has come with the first rays of sun
                 G                 D           C*
Breaking through our windowpane
G                    Am                  G              C
Songs fill the air but there's no singer there
             G                  D         C*
Just an old wooden guitar playing

...

G                  Am            G             C
Writing this song won't take very long
                                   C*
Trying not to use the world "old"
G               Am    G                              C
Thinking about taking chances and doubts
                G       D        C*
That still linger in the cold

....

C            G             C                 G
Looking forward, all that I can see
C                      G                     D               C*
Is good things happening to you and to me
C          G            C                G
I'm not waiting for times to change
G               Am           G                  C
I'm gonna live like a free-roaming soul

            G           D        C*
On the highway of our love

repeat chorus and first verse
