[Verse 1]
G            Em          C             G
Boring, old, normal, how attractive it seems

      G             Em                 C          G
Since life came and kicked a great big hole in my dreams

      G            Em           C           G
Now I read all the words on the tins on the shelf

      G        Em           C       G
And I try to remember to be kind to myself
[Pre-Chorus]
        D                  Em
And the days keep crawling past

Cadd9                            D      G
Just how long can this emptiness last?
[Chorus]
G                            C   G/B Am
Just give me something I can fix my  eyes on

G                         C   G/B Am
A hint of hope out on the far ho- rizon

G                         C
Good days and bad days, I have no doubt

F           C                 G
I could get by if they'd just even 'em out
[Instrumental] F C G F C G G [Verse 2]
        G                Em             C             G
Well, I just can't shake off this great weight that I feel

    G          Em                    C          G
Get up and get dressed, shouldn't be such a big deal

          G          Em           C      G
And now I don't know where things end or begin

    G          Em          C             G
The day of the week or the state that I'm in
[Pre-Chorus]
        D                  Em
But the days keep crawling past

Cadd9                            D
Just how long can this emptiness last?
[Chorus]
G                            C   G/B Am
Just give me something I can fix my  eyes on

G                         C   G/B Am
A hint of hope out on the far ho- rizon

G                         C
Good days and bad days, I have no doubt

F           C                 G
I could get by if they'd just even 'em out
[Instrumental] F C G F C Em Em G G [Verse 3]
        G           Em            C         G
Now I'm spending my days like I'm lost in a fog

      G          Em        C             G
I got nowhere to walk that big old black dog

      G             Em                 C          G
And I just can't believe what this has done to my health

         G            Em             C         G
So don't judge me too harshly, I can do that myself
[Pre-Chorus]
        D              Em
And the days blur into one

Cadd9                             D    G
I just can't seem to get anything done
[Chorus]
G                            C   G/B Am
Just give me something I can fix my  eyes on

G                         C   G/B Am
A hint of hope out on the far ho- rizon

G                         C
Good days and bad days, I have no doubt

F           C                 G
I could get by if they'd just even 'em out

F           C                 Em
I could get by if they'd just even 'em out
