Am

C                F                    C                     Am
Daylight is fading like an awkward smile

E                     F           C
Sun hides behind the west coast

Am              E
I thought, I thought I knew
              F           C
I had everything figured out

Am    E       F                          C
'Til night came and I lost my shadow

Am E                      F                C
Blended with moonlight and broken glass
Am    E              F            C
Ten hours of panic will follow

Am E
I watch the trees look black
       F                       C
My red shirt in is turning grey

Am E                          F                  C
Strange things just won't stop appearing!

E
Give me day, give me light

These days, those days

Am E                       F               C
I   was taught to bottle my emptiness
Am   E                 F                                          C
Deal with my quarter-life angst by painting pictures

Am E                          F                    C
Tip of my pencil describes what I might have drawn
Am E                           F                               C
Had my left brain and right hand been in contact

E
Broken section is now, read on

Dm              G           C                  Am
Then all at once, the sky started raining
Dm                 G       C
Soaked to the bone, stopped!

Dm               G           C                 Am
People of nighttime, came out of hiding
Dm                  G              C
One of them turned my way

               Dm             G
She said: "I'd like to tell you
             C                  Am
Some things I wished I'd known
Dm                G            C
When I was young like you

Dm                     G
It won't take a second
         C                        Am
But it could save you years
Dm                        G                 C
Years passed like seconds out here

I was enthralled with the way that
She spoke so softly
For a lady of her finesse and personal hygiene
She had cuts, bruises, scrapes, scratches
Hair tangled everywhere
She spoke in a way that demanded my attention

You're at the top of your game
You're in control of your life
Pearl of the oyster
The cream of the oreo
What I would give for that, I hope you never know

C
So live your life!
                                       Am
Don't sleep through the night!
Fmaj
Life's worth a living!
                                     G
You gotta start living it right!

                   Am
So live your life!
                                       C
Don't sleep through the day!
Fmaj
Dreams are for living!
                                             G
You gotta stop letting them die
