Intro D A D A 

verse 1 
D                               A 
  Lift your head up out of your hands, love 
D                          A 
  I can't take you anywhere 
D                                  A 
  Sometimes you give me all you've got to give me 
D                                      A 
  And sometimes you act like you don't care 

        A 
Don't I know 
             E            A 
The days are only what we make them?

The nights go only where we take them? 

verse 2 
D                         A 
  You carry all my light about you 
D                       A 
  Drawing deeply in the air 
D                              A 
  A choice, a fight, a call, a whisper 
D                               A 
  You always let me know you're there 
 
        A7 
Don't I know 
             E            A 
The days are only what we make them?

verse 3 
D                             A 
  An arrow pointed deep and directly 
D                        A 
  Scatters on the silver soul 
D                    A 
  As if I never even noticed 
D                               A 
  I could be almost all the way home 
 
        A7 
Don't I know 
             E            A 
The days are only what we make them? 
        A7 
Don't I know 
              E             A 
The nights go only where we take them?
