Verse 
G                                     C 
Lived a day passed what I thought I'd ought to. 
G                                 C 
Ten years longer than I thought I would. 
G                                  C 
Saw sunrise after sunrise - wasted nights and tired eyes.

A day is just a day when you're alright. 
G                                         C 
The world around me just goes right on spinning. 
G                     C 
Has no idea of joy or pain. 
G                                            C 
Just turns and burns and hangs out every morning. 
D                                    C  G 
'Til we're carried off into the sky.

But it don't always come so easy. 
               C        D       Em    
Doesn't always end the way it should. 
             C    D    G 
Not always a storybook ending. 
               Am         C        D 
Not always the best.  Not always good. 

Intro (x2) 

Verse 
G                                  C 
Got whiskey on my mind and on my breath. 
G                                      C 
I kept it close to me - there's nothing left. 
G                                          C 
I smoked my mind to nothing.  Lost my sense of what to do. 
D                                           C  G 
Lost everything in life worth losing, too. 

Bridge 
        Am                 G         
But I ought to slow down.  I shouldn't ask why. 
 Am                                   G 
I shouldn't sing the songs about my best friends who have died. 
Am                                  G 
I can't keep focused on the saddest moments of my life. 
 Am                               D 
Got to see a new horizon.  Got to see the brighter side.
