Misc Originals – Charlie Digiovanna - When The Day Comes (Guitar)

Fm                      C/E
   And tell me when the day comes

Ab                   Bb7
   Who will weep the hardest

      Db                      C
To follow the footsteps of my father

       Bbm7             C
As the road narrows and darkens

             Fm         C/E
When the day comes

   Ab                      Bb7
To which I say I shouldn’t bother

        Db                   C
But I’m begged by the small, bit of soul

       Bbm7                   C
That remains to entertain its carcass

             Fm         C/E
When the day comes

          Ab                       Bb7
Maybe the grief I foresee won’t be present

           Db                    C
Maybe I’ll find that I’ve become weathered

          Bbm7                      C
Maybe the arms reaching out will be welcomed

             Fm         C/E
When the day comes

        Ab                        Bb7
This is twenty six, what’s twenty seven

        Db                   C
Oh right, but I swear it’s a spectrum

  Bbm7                      C
I swear you should see just where I could be

     Db                   C
It’s all relative and I’m livin’ so free

       Bbm                         C
I mean what more from me could you possibly need

     Db                       C
I’m alive in the city holding onto a dream

Fm           C/E
Oh when that day comes

      Bbm                  Ab
And I fall into blades and daisies

     G                          C
Just know that my soul has been waiting

      Bbm           C
Don’t save me don’t save me

Bbm                Ab
Sunburnt scorpions grazing

     G                          C
Just know that my soul has been waiting

      Bbm           C
Don’t save me don’t save me

    Ab                    Bb7
And what does that make today

Db                C
Golden or dark, I know in my heart

    Bbm7             C
The way out isn’t to stay

             Fm         C/E
When the day comes

        Ab                    Bb7
But can bliss be so gleefully welcomed

            Db                   C
Knowing its company runs with me as we in tandem

Bbm7                      C
Head unprepared for crash landing

             Fm         C/E
When the day comes

        Ab                  Bb7
Perhaps silently, or with a vengeance

    Db                  C
But I’ll be deaf to the volume of triumph

   Bbm7            C
As I am alone, unaffected

             Fm         C/E
When the day comes

       Ab                           Bb7
That’s flirted with what’s left for years

  Db                 C
Resilient as any and stone-faced to tears

Bbm
Pulling me towards

     C
and away from my fears

Fm           C/E
Oh when that day comes

      Bbm                  Ab
And I fall into blades and daisies

     G                          C
Just know that my soul has been waiting

      Bbm           C
Don’t save me don’t save me

Bbm                Ab
Sunburnt scorpions grazing

     G                          C
Just know that my soul has been waiting

      Bbm           C
Don’t save me don’t save me

Db              C
   Who tells me when

    Fm             Bb
And how long until then

Db            C
Must I think about

        Fm              Bb
The time that I haven’t spent

        Db              C
And why  should we keep track of

     Fm             Bb
What there may be a lack of

          Db          C
But while we have the light

Bbm                            C
Let’s make tonight one to look  back on

Fm           C/E
Oh when that day comes

      Bbm                  Ab
And I fall into blades and daisies

     G                          C
Just know that my soul has been waiting

      Bbm           C
Don’t save me don’t save me

Bbm                Ab
Sunburnt scorpions grazing

     G                          C
Just know that my soul has been waiting

      Bbm           C
Don’t save me don’t save me
