A B E A
Turning on my pillow, thinking kind of strange
Bm6 C#7 F#m7 B7
The color is of midnight in this room
A B E A
The cars outside are coughing and it's kinda hard to sleep
G#m C#m B7
And there?s neon out the window, not the moon.

And it was just an any old kind of day
E A
The kind that comes and slips away
E G#m F#m B7
The kind that fills up easy my life?s time
A B7
The night brought any old kind of dark
E A
I heard the ticking of my heart
E G#m F#m7 B7(sus4)
Then why am I thinking something?s left behind?
A B E A
I whistled round today and I skipped a footloose jig
Bm6 C#7 F#m7
To the hurdy-gurdy music of the street
A B E A
I looked up past those rooftops, and saw that cloudless sky
G#m7 Amaj7
But I keep on asking why
G#m7 Amaj7
My life is passing by
G#m7 Amaj7
And I'm left up high and dry
G#m7 Amaj7
But it ain't no good to cry
G#m7 Amaj7
So I shrug the useless sigh
C#m7 B7 E
And I trust to things that other days will meet.

And it was just an any old kind of day
E A
The kind that comes and slips away

The kind that fills up easy my life?s time

The night brought any old kind of dark
E A
I heard the ticking of my heart
E G#m F#m7 B7(sus4) E
Then why am I thinking something?s left behind?

The night has had it's laughing
E A
When street lights blind the stars

So now it's shedding rain

To sing its sorrow (sorrow)
A B E A
It's time for me to sleep and to rest these thoughts away
G#m7 Amaj7
There?s gonna be another day
G#m7 Amaj7
When things will go my way
G#m7 Amaj7
And there?s other things to say
G#m7 Amaj7
And there?s other songs to play

And there?ll be time enough for thinking come tomorrow.
