C                     G
Ever close your eyes, ever stop and listen,
Am               F
ever feel alive, and you've nothing missing.
C                        G                     C
You don't need a reason, let the day go on and on.

C                       G
Let the rain fall down, everywhere around you,
Am                F
give into it now, let the day surround you.
C                        G                      C
You don't need a reason, let the rain go on and on.

(Instrumental:) Am F G C Am F G G7

(Chorus:)
C                         G
What a day! What a day to take to!
Am                        F
What a way! What a way to make it through!
C                         G         C
What a day! What a day to take to a wild child!

C                  G
Only take the time from the helter skelter,
Am                  F
every day you find, everything's in kilter.
C                        G                     C
You don't need a reason, let the day go on and on.

C                 G
Every summer sun, every winter evening,
Am                    F
Every spring to come, every autumn leaving.
C                        G                    C
You don't need a reason, let it all go on and on.

(Instrumental:) Am F G C Am F G G7
