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