   Neither the flowers on the hill,
       D#m              F#m
Or the moonlight on the sea,
     C#   G(b5)     F#    D#m
Have ever looked so blue.
    C#   Gdim        F#m6 C#
And everything looks new again,
        F7    C#     F#
In that old familiar way.

    C#           Bb7
The view from my room,
       D#m          F#m
Of the ships on the bay,
            C#      G(b5)       F#       D#m
Had come to bore me through and through.
         C#    Gdim    F#m6 C#
But they suddenly seem new again,
        G#m   C#7    F#
In that old familiar way.

    F7       F#        G#               G#7   C#
The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree,
    A                      E
Had long gone unnoticed by me.
    F7              F#            C#
I'm stunned by what now I finally see.
     D#7
It's amazing the wonders you can find,
        G#7
Just by stepping outside.

C#   G#    F#    F#/C#   C#

There's a skip in my step, a divine state of joy,
In everything I do.
Cause I am feeling new again,
In that old familiar way.

When I'm awoken from my dreams,
By a cuckoo on the roof,
I always join in too. (Cuckoo!)
And every sound sounds new again,
In that old familiar way.

The life I used to know when I was busy, always on the go,
Left me with nothing to show.
Now I feel that I can honestly say,
I'm living a suitable life.
I'm glad I finally got it right.
