It's been a bad day,

and all I want to do

is look at you and know I'm okay.

and I'm walking backwards, looking down,
C
Don't see the sky I see the ground.

C G
where the time has gone of looking up,

Tomorrows on the way.

Above, below, you look and so you say,
C G
when I wake up in the mornin'
D
Is it gonna be another ugly day?

D
and I'm going nowhere, killing time,
C
just trying to feed my bleeding mind.
