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