Woke up this morning

[Acoustic guitar intro]
[verse 1]
Woke up this morning and what did I find?

You by my side

Given my chances, you know I'll try

To keep you close by

The simplest things get me through my day

Like having you there when I wake

My cards have been dealt and they remain where they lay

I know I want you near me every day

[enter piano and more rhythm]
[pre chorus]
To stand by me; be close to me

Let me know that you care

I'll give you everything you need

As long as I know that you're there

[full instruments enter]
[chorus]
Woke up this morning and what did I find

You by my side

Given my chances, you know I'll try

To keep you close by

[verse 2]
Telling me your stories; Leading me right

The path I had found had a light not so bright

And now I'm seeing clearly with you by my side

I'll keep you there; I'm along for the ride

[enter piano and more rhythm]
[pre chorus]
To stand by me; be close to me

Let me know that you care

I'll give you everything you need

As long as I know that you're there

[full instruments enter]
[chorus]
Woke up this morning and what did I find

You by my side

Given my chances, you know I'll try

To keep you close by
[piano jam with full band, repeat “keep you close by” 4 times]

[rythmic brigde]
You walk through my mind

Like a ghost on the screen

You're filling me up

You're fueling my dreams

I can't get away; I'll never try

You know that storm can roll on by

[enter piano and more rhythm]
[pre chorus]
To stand by me; be close to me

Let me know that you care

I'll give you everything you need

As long as I know that you're there

[full instruments enter]
[chorus]
Woke up this morning and what did I find

You by my side

Given my chances, you know I'll try

To keep you close by

I woke up this morning and what did I find

You by my side

Given my chances, you know I'll try

To keep you close by
