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]
Em 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]
Em 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
Em 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]
Em F
But I am saved now, somebody died for my sins
C
And I'm so glad, it wasn't me
Em F
Sometimes love's not such a crazy thing,
C F
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
D G Em 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]
Em 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 Em C
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
C G
Just one other day
