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