CAPO: 2nd Fret
Intro: Am
G
The rain's too hard, the streams are too high
Am G
Too many people, barely getting by
F G
Some haven't yet paid for last winter's heat
Am G Am
Labour Day is done and the ends don't meet
Wise men say temperature's rising
G Am
And there's more water in the air
It comes down with a vengeance
G Am
Which no memory can compare
Chorus:
C G Am
We are low in expectations
F G Am
But a body's belt can only go so tight
'Til it interferes with the circulation
G F
And you will, with all your might
G Am
Dawn into day, day into night
G
The sun's too bright, the light too white
Am G
Some days I can't sleep at night
F G
Changes come too fast and leaves you slow
Am G Am
Reason overcome by the show
So we don't talk about the weather
G Am
Quite as often as we did
Conversations go to children
G F
Voices low, our fears well hid
G Am
We don't talk about the weather like we did
Chorus:
C G Am
Being low in expectations
F G Am
But a body's belt can only go so tight
'Til it interferes with the circulation
G F
And you will, and all your might
G Am
Dawn into day, day into night
F G Am
We build our hopes up along the way
G Am
Day into night, night into day
F G Am
We build our hopes up along the way
G Am
Day into night, night into day
G Am
Day into night, night into day
