Chords

[Intro] | D | G A | [Verse 1]
D                        
I was huddled in a doorway

G              A
Fighting off a trance

        D                 G    A
With my bag pulled to my chest

    D                 G            A
She asked me if I was waiting for something

           D                         A
I said the answer one thousand times over was yes
[Pre-chorus]
F#m                   G
  Well here I am or a shadow of me

   D
Oh but deep down inside

G   A            D    G  A 
My heart runs free
[Verse 2]
D                       G   A
I was a used shoe salesman

          D                          G    A
And I was working the graveyard shift

      D                 G            A
I was listening for the bell on the door

D              A
when you walk in

D                              G    A
I was living in the weeds somewhere

          D                                 G   A
And I was breathing through a straw in the swamp

          D                G   A             D    A
And I was gasping for air wondering what it was for
[Pre-chorus]
F#m                             G
  But I've a child now and she's better than me

   D          G  A                      D                    G   A
But deep down inside, I hope she makes the same mistakes as me

F#m                              G
  But sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
             D                         G
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart

    E  E7       A  A7   A6 A        D             G   A
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
[Verse 3]
   D              G      A
By picking up our feet

D                             G        A                      D
I was wandering around in the streets somewhere outside of Eden

D                         G    A
She came down and let me in

         D                    G      A
And then she left for the light

          D                             G             A
And I was creeping through, through the brush and the shadows

           D             G     A
Man, I was scared for my life
[Pre-chorus]
F#m                             G
  But I am saved now, somebody died for my sins

        D       G  A         D   G   A
And I'm so glad,   it wasn't me

F#m                           G
  Sometimes love's not such a crazy thing,
[Chorus]
             D                         G
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart

    E  E7       A  A7   A6 A        D             G   A
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day

   D                   G   A
Oh just for another day

      D            G  A
Not by walking away

D        G  A
Now stay
[Chorus]
F#m                             G
  But sometimes love is all it's supposed to be

             D                         G
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart

    E  E7       A  A7   A6 A        D             G   A
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day

D                  G A
Just one other day
