Verse
E C#m A
On a sunny day, I wake up
B E
And the light drains in
C#m A
And automatically, I reach out
B E
And I feel the warm weight on my fingers
C#m A
Yellow with the strain, I guess, I let up
B E
Kick the rubble on the eightfold
C#m F#m7 Gmaj7 F#7
I see myself, am I dreaming again? 'Cos it feels like...
B Bm Bmaj7 E F A#7
All my life I've been so sure I'm alright
A B
But sometimes I'm lonely
A E
And the only things I care about
D B E B A E B
Fall apart like macaroni
A B E
Only for today
E C#m A
I let it fall away and come down
B E
Let it dress me up
C#m A
And as it I knew it would, there's no doubt
B E
Just a troubadour tied to my mooring
C#m A
Staring at my chains again, they're cut off
B E
But I won't get out
C#m A Gmaj7 F#7
I see myself as a marionette, yeah, it feels like...
B Bm Bmaj7 E F A#7
All my life I've been so sure I'm alright
C# C#m C#maj7 F# G C7
Banging my drum, blow the fife, circle the pain all night
B C#
But sometimes I'm lonely
B F#
And the stupid things I think about
E C# F# C# B F# C#
Call my name, seems like I'm only
B C# F#
Waiting for today
F#7 Bmaj7 A#
You can live your life this way, it's true
D#m C#m F#7 B C# F#
While the old folk pray for tomorrow I'm waiting for today
