C D G G
[Verse 1]
G
I just pulled the thread that unraveled my life with you
D D7
And I'm rebuilding at home a little at a time
D
Now and then your memory slows my project down
C D G
But things are lookin' up I haven't lost my mind
[Chorus]
C D G
Things are lookin' up I haven't called you now in days
C G D D7
The hurt still drops by every night but it no longer stays
G C
When I can't touch or taste or hear or see you in my mind
D G
Yes things are lookin' up and all I need is time
[Verse 2]
G
I went to church with the kids and it didn't fall

I let them think they talked me into goin'
D
Their mom look proud and even held my hand
C D G
Oh things are lookin' up when hurt's not showin'
[Chorus]
C D G
Things are lookin' up I haven't called you now in days
C G D D7
The hurt still drops by every night but it no longer stays
G C
When I can't touch or taste or hear or see you in my mind

Yes things are lookin' up and all I need is time
