Start Jamming...
[F]
Can [A] you taste the grit [C] between your teeth?
[F] The heat of my lights, [A] the crack of the whip, the [A] snapping sound
Of [G] someone's nerves, [F#m] if you paid you did [A] what you deserved
[F#m]
[A]
We're coming up from the [Dm] deep, so there's a chance it's scary
The night of it awaits, [Dm] but hey, another fun [A] begins
[F]
Shadow boxing with yourself just seems to get you nowhere
You don't want to cheat when playing solitaire
[A] The pace is called my [Dm] life, try and focus and [A] be one
Never let it be [Dm] said that, it just becomes [A] undone
A [F]
reckless gambling [F] face with time enough tomorrow
Time [G] enough to make room, [F] all of our tomorrows
[Dm] Curtain calling, [Em] lights closing, tragedy, love [F] or lie
When that heat is clear, [G] takes his chance to play, lives to fight
We're [A] coming up from the [Dm] deep, so there's a chance [A] it's scary
The night of it awaits, [Dm] but hey, another fun [A] begins
[F] Shadow boxing with yourself just seems to get you nowhere
You don't want to cheat when playing solitaire
[Dm] Curtain calling, [Em] lights closing, tragedy, [F] love or lie
When that heat is [G] clear, takes his chance to play, lives to fight
[A] Another day
[Dm] [A]
[Dm] [A]
[Am] [F] What ever's here, from what passes, for what's taking
Nothing in the angels way, not to be forsaken
[A] Curtain calling, lights [C] closing, tragedy, love or lie
When [D] that heat is clear, takes his chance to [F] play, lives to fight
[G] Lives to fight [A] Another day
Another day Another [G] day
[F]
[E] Another [F] day
[Am]
Another [G] day Another [A] day
