[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 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 Em I'm strugglin' but hustlin' and lovin' it, always
