[Gm] When everything's a little clearer in [C] the light of day,
[Am] [Gm] then we know the night is always
gonna be here [C] anyway.

Rubbing sticks and stones together, loving you is getting so exciting.

Started out this morning feeling so polite, I always thought a [Gm] fish could not be caught
but it didn't bite.
[F] But you got some data waiting and I think I might [Gm] act a little, little afternoon [Dm] [F] delight.
Sky rockets in flight, [C] afternoon [Dm] delight.
