VERSE:

Well, I’m sorry for the things that I told you
But words only go so far
And if I had my way I would reach into heaven
And I’d pull you down a star for a present
And I’d make you a chain out of diamonds
And pearls from a summer sea
But all I can give you is a kiss in the morning
And a sweet apology

REFRAIN: E A E7 A

VERSE:

Well, I know that it hasn’t been easy
And I haven’t always been around
To say the right words or to hold you in the mornin’
Or to help you when you’re down
I know I never showed you much of a good time
But baby things are gonna change
I’m gonna make up for all of the hurt I brought
I’m gonna love away all your pain

CHORUS:

And tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day
There’s gonna be some changes
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day
This time you can believe me
No more cryin’ in your lonely room
And no more empty nights
‘Cause tomorrow mornin’ everything will turn out right

REFRAIN:

VERSE:
Well, there’s something that I’ve got to tell you
Yes I’ve got something on my mind
But words come hard when your lying in my arms
And when I’m looking deep into your eyes
But there’s truth and consolation
And what I’m trying to say
Is that nobody ever had a rainbow baby
Until he had the rain

CHORUS:

And tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day
There’s gonna be some changes
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day
This time you can believe me
No more cryin’ in your lonely room
And no more empty nights
‘Cause tomorrow mornin’ everything will turn out right

OUTRO:

It’s gonna, it’s gonna, it’s gonna be a brighter day
It’s gonna, it’s gonna, it’s gonna be a brighter day
It’s gonna, it’s gonna, it’s gonna be a brighter day
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be a brighter day
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be a brighter day
Come on tomorrow
Come on tomorrow
It’s gonna be a brighter day

PHOTOGRAPHS & MEMORIES JIM CROCE

Photographs and memories, Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these to remember you
Memories that come at night take me to another time
Back to a happier day, when I called you mine

chorus
But we sure had a good time when we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks, oh, how I loved you then

Summer skies and lullabies, nights we couldn’t say goodbye,
And of all of the things that we knew, not a dream survived.
Photographs and memories, all the love you gave to me,
Somehow it just can’t be true, that’s all I’ve left of you.

An open base note on the E string sounds good when alternated between the 5
and 2 during the chorus.

And heres the lyrics

Well things were spinnin round me
And all my thoughts were cloudy
And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me
Been in so many places
You know Ive run so many races
And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night
And something is just not right cause I know

CHORUS:

That I gotta get out of here
Im so alone
Dont you know that I gotta get out of here
Cause New Yorks not my home

Though all the streets are crowded
Theres something strange about it
Lived there bout a year and I never once felt at home
I though Id make the big time
I learned a lot of lessons awful quick
And now Im tellin you
That they were not the nice kind
And its been so long since I have felt fine thats the reason

(Repeat Chorus)
