Written by John Denver
C Em Am F G It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise. C Em Am F G7 There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes. C Em Am F G The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone, C Em Am F G And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come.C Em Am F G It seems a shame to leave you now, your lace is soft and warm. C Em Am F G7 I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms. C Em Am F G I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile, C Em Am F G But other voices beckon me, and for a little while.F G C Em Am And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you. F G C C7 Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, F G C Em Am It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me F G-G7 Why do we always fight when I have to go?C Em Am F G And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame? C Em Am F G7 You think if I were always here, our love would be the same. C Em Am F G As it is the time we have is worth the time alone, C Em Am F G Lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known. <Chorus>Am F C Am I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know, F G C And some that aren't familiar with my name. Em Am F C Em Am It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand, F G - G7 It's anyone who'll listen to me sing.
