Verse
G                                     C
Lived a day passed what I thought I'd ought to.
G                                 C
Ten years longer than I thought I would.
G                                  C
Saw sunrise after sunrise - wasted nights and tired eyes.
D                                        C  G
A day is just a day when you're alright.
G                                         C
The world around me just goes right on spinning.
G                     C
Has no idea of joy or pain.
G                                            C
Just turns and burns and hangs out every morning.
D                                    C  G
'Til we're carried off into the sky.

Chorus
G                    C   D  G 
But it don't always come so easy.
               C        D       Em   
Doesn't always end the way it should.
             C    D    G
Not always a storybook ending.
               Am         C        D
Not always the best.  Not always good.

Intro (x2)

Verse
G                                  C
Got whiskey on my mind and on my breath.
G                                      C
I kept it close to me - there's nothing left.
G                                          C
I smoked my mind to nothing.  Lost my sense of what to do.
D                                           C  G
Lost everything in life worth losing, too.

Bridge
        Am                 G        
But I ought to slow down.  I shouldn't ask why.
 Am                                   G
I shouldn't sing the songs about my best friends who have died.
Am                                  G
I can't keep focused on the saddest moments of my life.
 Am                               D
Got to see a new horizon.  Got to see the brighter side.

Chorus

Repeat last line of chorus once and end on G instead of D
