[Em] [A]
[E]
I hear [F#m] people complaining,
[A] they [E] say they got dealt the roughest deal.
They cry [F#] when it's raining,
[A] no bread [E] for the ladies meal.
[G#] But if [A] there's no heaven,
[C] you can be [E] sure there's no hell.
[G#m] And if [A] there's no devil,
[C] there won't be no God to [B] hear you yell.
[E]
You see [F#] people get hungry, [Bm]
[A] [E] their time to blame won't turn to white.
They're [F#] living life slowly,
[E] [A] they can [E] look up and see the detail.
[G#m] But [A] ask them the question,
[C] and no [E] answer is there.
[G#m] Whether you're [A] eastern or western,
[C] it's only what makes them [B] feel better.
[E] One day at [F#] a, [G] one day at [Em] a, one [E] day at a time.
One day [B] at a, [F#m] one day at [E] a, one day at a time.
You see [Bm] people get sickly,
[A] the [E] shock passes down from back to us.
Your [F#m] back's up and prickly,
[A] rolling the [E] bottom.
Pretend they got no [G#m] purse, and [A] this continues.
[C] Where [E] does it all end?
[G#m] I'm in [A] the retinue.
[C] Till I see broken [B] wishes and man.
[E] One day at a, [F#m] one [Em]
day at a, one day [E] at a time.
One day [B] at [F#m] a, one day [Em] at a, one day [E] at a time.
One day at [F#m] a, [Em] one day at a, one day [A] at a, [Em] one day at a, [A] one [E] day at a time.
[A] So when you get lonely, [Em]
[D#] treat good [C] to yourself, unblessed day.
[E] No, you are the [Dm] only
[E] one who can deliver what [G#m] I say
[C#] Tryna fight [A] in the fever, [C] up [Em] [E] in the pillar
[G#m] Big girl, I [D#] believe I can wear [C] you
Tryna separate it [B] like I'm still
[E] One day at a, [F#m] one [Em]
day at a, one day [E] at a time
One [B] day at a, [F#m] one [Em] day at a, one [E] day at a time
One day [F#m] at a, one [Em] day at a, one day at a, one day at a
One day at a, one day at [C] a, [A] one day at a [E]
