Sad days (Em)
[Verse 1]
Em Dark thoughts and feelings C Seek to tear the seams G and rip my hollow heart apart Am since you departed Em Thought that you
deserved to know
C The man I was was full of woe G And broken Am Defective Em Sought for you to know me C Know that there was G nothin that I wouldn’t give you Am Secrets or hard truths
Pre chorus
Em C But you left me in the dust G D After I gave you my trust Em My catalyst
My wildflower
C
Bluest oceanMeteor shower
G Shooting star D My graceful garden dahlia Em Jesus lovin
Hobbit girl
C Curly hair G And singing like an angel D Like an angel
[Chorus]
Em Sad days these are C G Two pews over ‘n miles apart G Might as well be torture D So Far as the feelings D7 Roiling in my heart Em Sad days C Sad days G Sad days

[Verse 2]
Em So heart was open, Weeping wounded C My curse my burden G Opened to the light Am You saw it all Em You forgave me
You’re proud of me
C You told me everything would be G alright Am Why then did you go? Em You said you’d be my Belle C But then you said we’d take break G I need to grow Am Oh lord I know Em Surely we’ll get back together C How’s a month? A year sounds better G Well next thing that I know Am You say to give up hope
Pre chorus 2
Em C Now I sit here in the dust G D Weep for what I know we’ve lost Em My bestest friend
My singing partner
C
Golden sunriseMorning songbird
G Evening sunset D Glowing moonlight girl Em Maiden of the rainbow eyes C Blue to green with sparkling light G D Barefoot joyous dancing in the grass
[Chorus]
Em Sad days these are C G Two pews over ‘n miles apart G Might as well be torture D So Far as the feelings D7 Roiling in my heart Em Sad days C Sad days G Sad days

[Verse 3]
Em It’s been a year C no sign of second chances G Oh no land in sight Am I’m sailing blind Em Well I’ll wait for you I’ll tread the water C Emotional cannon fodder G Not knowing why Am I’d rather die Em Than be with someone else C Am I obsessed, G is this a healthy mind? Am Is it unkind? Em To place, to blame, to
Weigh you down?
C Not knowing how you feel right now? G* Am* I’m sorry for the way I made you feel
Pre chorus 3
Em C Someday I’ll stand back up G D Brush off this worthless dust Em My Christlike teacher
Younger preacher
C Pick me up and G point me towards the cross D Say “there’s no loss” Em Tell me how he’s got a plan C G Remind me that you’re only just a part D Just a part
[Chorus]
Em Sad days these are C G Two pews over ‘n miles apart G Might as well be torture D So Far as the feelings D7 Roiling in my heart Em Sad days C Sad days G Sad days
x2
[Bridge]
C G I wasn’t good for you D Em You were far to good for me C G Your heart sings lovely songs D Em Let me sing the harmony C G Don’t leave me here alone D Em Condemned to suffer these C Sad days G Sad days Am* Sad days
[Chorus]
Em* Sad days these are C* G* Two pews over ‘n miles apart G* Might as well be torture D So Far as the feelings D7 Roiling in my heart Em Sad days C Sad days G Sad days
