Bright Eyes - I will be grateful for this day - 02 (lyrics in the description) chords
Start Jamming...
[A] I had [G#m] a girl I knew, [F#] she grew, became [E] a woman [A] now
I [G#m] think that she teaches [F#m] at, well, a [E] school [A] style town
We used [G#m] to roll the windows [F#] down and [E] play the music [A] loud
Smoking [G#m] out in [F#] her car, lost [E] in West Omaha
[A] And [G#m] we'd get drunk and kiss, [F#] our bodies twist [E] like [A] shoelaces
And we [G#m] never came on [F#] time, I [E] guess you were just smart [A] time
You know that [G#m] summer [F#] night, that stopped us to [E] pretend I'm [A] there
The [G#m] bands in the living [F#] room, the neighbors [E] they never [C#m] cared
So when I sat behind [B] the drum set, [F#m] your heart beats what I [E] tried to play
[F#m] With kid [F] characters so [B] careless, [D#] not in [D] time
So you got ahead of me, and I guess I'm still dragging [A] behind
[E]
[F#m] [E] [A]
[E] [F#m] [E]
[F#m] [B]
[A] I [G#] had a friend who changed [F#] his name but [E] couldn't change [A] himself
Never [G#] quite figured [F#m] out how to deal [E] with what life had [A] done
He [D#] put a needle in [F#m] his arm to call [E] his hand some [A] help
Who [G#] would've imagined [F#m] it [E] could've worked out so [A] well
Now he's [G#] a shaved fit [F#m] mess, like I cussed through [E] my empty drink
[A] [G#m] And there's a voice that [C#] speaks, like someone's [E] right [A] behind me
I turn [G#m] around and found [C#] it's not quite what [E] you would [A] expect
The clothes I [G#m] wrapped on my [C#] floor, the papers [E] piled on my [A] desk
But [E] where the ink is wet, [C#] the cause affects [E] what's meant [A] by it
The [G#m] story is incomplete, [C#] the [E] picture's left [C#m] unfinished
So I am writing my [B] own ending
[F#m] I'll let my pen bleed black [E] or blue
[C#] And I will [C#m] color in the [B] meaning
[F#m] It will be gold and [E] green and true
[F#m] And I'll learn to [F] love my [B] new, devil's [D#] covered [D] proof
I'll be grateful for this day
I will be grateful for each day [A] to come
[E] [F#m] [E] [A]
