The Day
View chords used in this chart
C
I try to know when to leave
G
She sits in the bedroom and grieves
Am
There's a sequence that starts all again
F
She can't get up anymore with the pain
C
The combination of these drugs
G
Has left her hopeless and lost
Am
She wants to count the ways
F
But she can't count again
[Refrão]
C G
I will be right here
Am
'Til all the pain
F
Just disappear
C G
I will always stay
Am
'Til all this light
F
Just kills the day
C
I strangle my words
G
Once, I tried a thousand times
Am
Slaughtered like Gods
F
When the silver shines so hard
C
I tried to poison my life
G
Always dreaming of the edge of the knife
Am
She always looked backwards
F
And I can sit here for even ten minutes or more
Chorus
C
Oh hold on
G
Oh hold on
Am
Oh hold on
F
Just try again
Chorus
C
Oh hold on
G
Oh hold on
Am
Oh hold on

Just try again
