Chords for I Will Be Grateful For This Day (Companion Version)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I [C#m] had a girl I knew, [F#m] she grew, became [E] a woman _ [A]
now
I think [C#m] that she _ teaches [F#m]
at one [E] of the schools _ [A] downtown
_ We [C#m] used to roll the [F#m] windows down and play [E] the music _ [A]
loud
Smoking [C#m] out in her [F#m]
car, lost [E] and west on [A] the block
We'd [C#m] get drunk and kiss [F#m] our bodies, twist [E] like _ _ [A] shoelaces
Yeah, we [C#m] never came _ [F#m]
untied, I guess [E] you were just my [A]
type
You know [C#m] that summer [F#m] never stopped, I still [E] pretend _ [A] I'm dead
Bands [C#m] in the living _ [F#m]
room, neighbors [E] they never _ [C#m]
cared
So when I sat behind [B] the drum _ _ _ set, _ [F#m] _
the heart beats what I tried [E] to play
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] With kick and [F] snare, _ so [A] _
[B] careless, [D#] not in [D] time
_ _ _ _ _ _ She got ahead of me, and I guess I'm still dragging _ [A]
behind
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] I _ _ [F#m] had _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [C#m] a friend who changed [F#] his name, but [E] couldn't change [A] himself
_ Never [C#m] quite figured [F#m] out how to deal [E] with what life has [A] dealt
She [C#m] put a needle in [F#m] his arm to pull [E] his hand _ [A] somehow
Who would've [C#m] _ imagined _ [F#m]
it, could've [E] worked out so [A] well
_ Now he's [C#m] a shape that moves [F#m] like echoes through [E] my empty [A] room
_ And there's [C#m] a voice that _ [F#m]
speaks like someone's [E] right _ behind [A] me
I turned [C#m] around and found [F#m]
exactly what she [E] _ would [A] expect
[F#] The clothes are left on my [F#m] floor, the papers [E] piled on my [A]
desk
But where [C#m] the ink is wet, [F#m] the cause, that's [E] what's meant by [A] it
_ Story [C#m] is _ _ [F#m] incomplete, the picture's [E] left _ unfinished
[C#m] _
So I am writing my [B] own ending
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
I'll let my pen bleed black or [E]
blue, _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
and I will color in the [B]
meaning
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ And _ [F#m] I'll learn to [F] love _ my [A] new _ _ [D#] _ _ _ discoverer, [D] who _ _ I'll _ be grateful for this day
I will be grateful for each day to [A]
come
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
