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