[Intro]
| C* | | C* | |
| C* | Am* G* | C* | Am* G* |
[Verse 1]
C
When the day is long but something feels wrong
Am G
and I just can’t seem to put my finger on it.
C
Same old cloud still follow me around,
Am G
try to listen to my own advice
C
but still falling down trying.
Am G
Tears of a clown still crying, outside fine but
C
inside dying, soundly she puts her arms around me,
Am G
pulls my head against her chest and says please my love
C*
please rest your mind.
Am G
This life is but a dream,
C Am G
know you’re not alone because I know what you mean.
[Interlude] (Solo on Mandoline)
| C | Am G | C | Am G |
| C | Am G | C | Am G |
[Verse 2]
C
Look at you there’s no surprise,
Am G
don’t like when it’s sets but loves when it rises.
C
Look at me always waking up late,
Am G
so it seems sunsets are strictly my fate.
C
And look at you with the love in your eyes
Am G
and waiting for what’s coming over the horizon.
C
Look at me got stuck up a tree of
Am G C*
knowledge of good and evil never helped me.
[Verse 1] (Kind of Reprise)
C*
When the day is long but something feels wrong
N.C.
and I just can’t seem to put my finger on it.
C
Same old cloud still follow me around,
Am G
try to listen to my own advice but still falling
C
down trying, dying, soundly she puts her arms around me,
Am G
pulls my head against her chest and says please my love
C
please rest your mind.
Am G*
This life is but a dream,
C Am G
know you’re not alone because I know what you mean.
[Outro] (Repeat and Fade Out)
