Opening Up piano leadsheet with chords
The day starts like the rest I've seen,
another carbon copy of where I've already been.
Days keep comin', one out, one in,
they keep comin'.
I don't know what I wish I had,
but there's no time now for thinkin' things like that.
I've got too much to do.
(Too much to do.)
We've got too much to do.
Too much to do.
Opening up, lettin' the day in.
Pour you a cup
and say, "Hello,
how ya been?"
Lookin' around, seein' the same things,
it's comforting how
some things never change,
never change, never change,
do they?
I wouldn't call this place a happy end,
but I've been round the block and just came back again.
Could be worse, so make it work,
no place is perfect.
Hey, I'm no good in the outside world,
because I feel too much and find it usually hurts.
I like the way most of the days look exactly the same.
Opening up, every day starts
over a cup
served with, "Hello,
how ya been?"
Welcome it in whatever the day
brings. More of the same things.
Check the clock, tick, tick tock,
don't stop, serve with a smile.
Hurry up, fill the coffee cup,
and then in a while,
take a breath when you need to be reminded that with days
like these, we can only do the best we can.
And do it all again.
It's the heartbeat,
the center,
the lifeline
you enter.
It's the heartbeat,
(Heartbeat.) the center,
(Center.) the lifeline (The lifeline.)
you enter.
It's the heartbeat,
(Heartbeat.) It's the center,
(Center.) the lifeline (The lifeline.)
you enter.
never change, never change,
never change, they never change.
