Am G F Asus2 Cmaj7 G Em [Verse 1]
       Am    G   F
I woke up to yet another day

Am             G        F
Grown to expect, expect more of the same

  Asus2   Cmaj7   Dadd4        Cmaj7
Except for, for a subtle change

           Asus2 Cmaj7  G       Em
And that is, I'm slowly fading away
[Verse 2]
Am            G    F
Harvest moon, soon will pass

Am         G       F
Crop is gone, left only chaff

Asus2    Cmaj7        Dadd4 Cmaj7/G
A bitter pill, and an o-ver-cast

Asus2  Cmaj7 Cmaj7/G  D/F#
A flag unfurled,

   F     Em   F
At half mast

F  Em  F
  Ahhhhh...
[Chorus]
              Am
A year to the day

F            Am       F
   Since you went away

              Asus2
The moment in time

Cmaj7            Dadd4     C/G
   When you were last mine

         Asus2
I'm here standing still

Cmaj7              Dadd4        C/G
   Yeah! With more time to kill

                 Am
Hey! I barely survived

Cmaj7        Dadd4   Cmaj7
  Yeah, I barely survived

[Verse 3]
             Am         D         G
Like pouring salt on an open wound

       Am                    D         G
Memory filling, filling this empty room

       Am                      D          Fmaj7
I'm as bare, I'm as bare, as a barren womb

Am                   F     Em         F
   Still like the air, in a whitewash tomb

F  Em  F
  Ahhhhh...
[Chorus]
              Am
A year to the day

F            Am       F
   Since you went away
