Today is the first day
       C
of the rest of my life
  Am
I wake as a child
           Em
to see the world begin

on monarch wings

    Am            Em
and birthday wonderings
        D
Want to put on faces
 Am         A7      D
walk in the wet and cold
          G         Bm         Em
and look forward to my growing old

        D
To grow old is to change
   Em
To change is to be new
      Am
To be new is to be young again
  C               D
I barely remember when

   Em            Am           Em
My memories are stolen by the morning
        Em          Am            Em
Blotted out by the sun's hypnotic eye
Em       Em/G           B7/D#
? by the sun's hypnotic eye

Em   D
