Brighten Your Night With My Day
Words & music by James Taylor
D G (Play 4x)
D Bm Em A F#m
Daybreak finds you up and alive
Bm G D (Fill #1)
Just as though you could touch a star
D Bm Em A F#m
But sunset seems to leave you weary alone
Bm G D
And wondering who you are
F#m Bm F#m Bm
Don't deny that lonely feeling babe
Em A D F#m
That keeps stealing on you from deep down inside
F#m/C# F#m Bm Em
Hey, can't you see that it's no good concealing
A Bm C
A feeling it hurts you to hide
(Fill #2) Bm F#m
When you can come home to me
Em A D
Yes, I'm happy to hear what you've got
Bm C
To say to me, baby, all the way
(Fill #2) Bm F#m
Girl, you can count on me
C A
Watch those shadows fade away
Em A (Fill #3)
And brighten your night with my day
G A D Bm Em A
Daybreak, sunset hot and cold
D F#m
Running smiles and tears
E A E A
A bright outside to match your foolish pride
D Bm C
But not a word for the lonely years
(Fill #2) Bm F#m
Please come back home to me
Em A
Now you won't have to say
D Bm C
That you'll stay with me, baby, no, it's not that way
(Fill #2) Bm F#m
Just come back home to me
C A
Watch those shadows fade away
Em A
And brighten your night with my...

Watch out, baby, here it comes
D G
Right around the corner
Here it comes
D G (Fill #3)
Just brighten your night with my day babe hey hey yeah yeah yeah
