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