C            F              C               Am
Daylight is fading like an awkward smile

E             F       C
Sun hides behind the west coast


Am            E
I thought, I thought I knew 
         F        C
I had everything figured out


Am     E     F                 C    
'Til night came and I lost my shadow


Am E             F           C
Blended with moonlight and broken glass
Am   E         F          C
Ten hours of panic will follow


Am  E         
I watch the trees look black
    F                 C
My red shirt in is turning grey


Am E                  F            C
Strange things just won't stop appearing!


E
Give me day, give me light

These days, those days


Am E               F         C
I was taught to bottle my emptiness
Am   E          F                             C
Deal with my quarter-life angst by painting pictures


Am E                  F             C
Tip of my pencil describes what I might have drawn
Am E                   F                   C
Had my left brain and right hand been in contact


E
Broken section is now, read on


Dm           G         C            Am
Then all at once, the sky started raining
Dm            G        C
Soaked to the bone, stopped!


Dm           G        C           Am
People of nighttime, came out of hiding
Dm            G        C
One of them turned my way


           Dm            G
She said: "I'd like to tell you
        C             Am
Some things I wished I'd known 
Dm           G        C
When I was young like you


Dm                G
It won't take a second
         C             Am
But it could save you years
Dm                 G           C
Years passed like seconds out here"

I was enthralled with the way that 
She spoke so softly
For a lady of her finesse and personal hygiene
She had cuts, bruises, scr*pes, scratches
Hair tangled everywhere
She spoke in a way that demanded my attention



You're at the top of your game
You're in control of your life
Pearl of the oyster
The cream of the (?)
What I would give for that, I hope you never know


C
So live your life!
                         Am
Don't sleep through the night!
F  
Life's worth a living!
                           G
You gotta start living it right!


              Am
So live your life!
                         C
Don't sleep through the day!
F
Dreams are for living!
                              G
You gotta stop letting them die
