verse 1 

E                    E9 
You tripped on every morning 
A 
A shadow across the sun 
E              E9 
Some days just roll on by 
A 
And that's more than meets the eye 
E                E9 
Sometimes I feel broken 
A 
But I don't want to cry 
E           E9 
Some days I have lived low 
A 
Just to get by

And if im talking to anyone

I'm talking to you 
E                 E9 
You played it all out on me babe 
A 
All that you could do 
E             E9 
I needed more ears to hear you 
A 
Make it all come true

I can say you didn't hurt me

And most often that's true

My heart is playing tricks on me

Don't tell me my bones and bricks 
                    A 
My heart is playing tricks on me 
E            E9 
Will we come together today or are there 
A 
More reasons await

I could say it doesn't it hurt me

Most often that's true

And I could say I don't think about you 
A 
Sometimes I do 
E              E9 
I can't say it stops me 
A 
From sleeping at night 
E              E9 
Cause I get so tired thinking 
A 
What would make it right

Don't tell me my bones and bricks 
                    A 
My heart is playing tricks on me 
E            E9 
Will we come together today or are there 
A 
More reasons await 
E            E9 
Will we come together today or are there 
A 
More reasons await
