[Verse 1]
C
You're sulking through the city rain,
Am
you're late for work and scrambling towards the station
Dm G
and you ask yourself well when will I finally get a little reprieve
C
And in a subway car...
Am
an attractive person smiles at me and I deprecate
Dm G
we are children of divorce so please give us a break
G
and speaking of a break
G
when will get the that break?
G
I'll tell you when!
[Chorus]
C F
Someday... but not today

Someday... but not today
G
Ahh...
[Verse 2]
C
And in the darkness of my life you're the light
Am
A bulb blooming delicately and burning bright
Dm G
budding against nature and all of it's blight
G
and I don't wanna fight
G G7
I just wanna be a big part of your life!
[Chorus]
C F
Someday... but not today
C F
Someday... but not today
Em
Ahh...
[Bridge]
G
We think too much, we feel too much
Am E
We are too much, we take too much

We don't wanna die. Don't be so guileless!
G C
We just don't... we just don't want to exist!
