Intro
D# A#
[Verse 1]
D#
I was huddled in a doorway
A#
Fighting off a trance
D# A#
With my bag pulled to my chest
D# A#
She asked me if I was waiting for something
D#
I said the answer one thousand times over was yes
[Pre-chorus]
Gm G#
Well here I am or a shadow of me
D#
Oh but deep down inside
D#
My heart runs free
[Verse 2]
D# A#
I was a used shoe salesman
D# A#
And I was working the graveyard shift
D# A#
I was listening for the bell on the door
D#
when you walk in
D# A#
I was living in the weeds somewheres
D# A#
And I was breathing through a straw in the swamp
D# A# D#
And I was gasping for air wondering what it was for
[Chorus]
Gm G#
But I've a child now and she's better than me
D# D#
But deep down inside, I hope she makes the same mistakes as me
Gm G#
But sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
D# G#
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
F A# D# A#
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
[Verse 3]
D# A#
By picking up our feet
D# A# D#
I was wandering around in the streets somewheres outside of Eden
D# A#
She came down and let me in
D# A#
And then she left for the light
D# A#
And I was creeping through, through the brush and the shadows
D# A#
Man, I was scared for my life
[Chorus]
Gm G#
But I am saved now, somebody died for my sins
D#
And I'm so glad, it wasn't me
Gm G#
Sometimes love's not such a crazy thing,
D# G#
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
F A# Gm D# A#
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
D# A#
Oh just for another day
D# A#
Not by walking away
D#
Now stay
[Chorus]
Gm G#
But sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
D# G#
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
F A# Gm D#
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
D# A#
Just one other day
