========================================================================= [Intro] | Em | Em | D | Bm | | Em | Em | D | Bm | [Verse 1]
Em
   Next thing I knew we were in deep

Em
Hold on to me, 'cause babe I'm 'bout to leave

D
  She said it never felt so right

      Bm
As the time went by, and I was off in the night
[Verse 2]
Em                                        Em
   She said I don't cry, tonight I cried twice,
The thought of you not by my side
      D
And I find you the on the emotional type

Bm
Hold on to me, we can hold on for life
[Verse 3]
Em
   Tell me how you feel when I say this

Em
   Our destination is place-less

D
   I never understood what it meant when

   Bm
I said the three words that some people dread
[Verse 4]
Em
That's about as real as it gets

  Em
I never hold back with my love and intent

D
  I finally figured out what it meant

Bm
Now there's a spark in my heart times ten
[Chorus]
Em
Everyday

Em
Eight days a week was the song that I'd play

                             D
Eight times for me and eight times for the sake

                               Bm
Eight times for love and eight times for the way

                     Em
I can remember those days

                                    Em
You and every minute wasn't all so strange

                                        D
See you in the spring when the patience pays

                   Bm
I'm strugglin' but hustlin' and lovin' it, always
[Riff] X2 (see top of tab) [Verse 5]
Em
  I wrote to her eighty-five times

Em
Sometimes for her, but sometimes for my

D
    Simple collection of lies

Bm
Sometimes to find the way up in a rhyme
[Verse 6]
Em
    I woke up one morning to find

            Em
It was her first name on a billboard sign

D
    I smiled and said damn what a trip

Bm
Just yesterday I had a kiss for her lips
[Verse 7]
Em
   Well, usually I don't make much of this

  Em
A sign's a sign it doesn't change it a bit

D
   I choose to stay calm in my sleep

Bm
Seein' the prize on April nineteenth
[Verse 8]
Em
    That was then, I was down to a week

Em
Longest seven days of my life so to speak

D
   I sip up my tea so sweet

       Bm
And my head thirsts the girl I've been dying to see, so
[Chorus]
Em
Everyday
