Opening Up

The day starts like the rest I've seen,

another (Dmaj7)carbon copy of where I've already been.

Days keep comin', one out, one in,

they keep (Gsus2)comin'.

(D5)I don't know what I wish I had,

but there's (Dmaj7)no time now for thinkin' things like that.

I've got (Am)too much to do.

(Too much to do.)

We've got (G)too much to do.

Too much to do.

(D)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 (G)perfect.

Hey, (D)I'm no good in the outside world,

because I (F#m7)feel too much and find it usually hurts.

(Am)I like the way most of the days look (G)exactly the same.

(D)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.

(Fmaj7)Check the clock, tick, tick tock,

(D)don't stop, serve with a smile.

(Fmaj7)Hurry up, fill the (D)coffee cup,

and then in a while,

take a breath when you need to be reminded that with (G)days

(E)like these, we can (F#7)only do the best we (Bm)can.

And (Gm)do it all again.

It's the heartbeat,
