Opening Up (from Waitress The Musical)

The day starts like the rest we've seen,

another carbon copy of an old routine.

(Bm)Days keep comin', one out, one in,

they keep (Gsus2)comin'.

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

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

We'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.

Over a cup we'll 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.

(Bm)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,

(Fmaj7)take a breath when you need to be reminded that with (G)days (E)like (A)these,

we can (F#)only do the (Bm)best we (G)can.

And (Gm)do it all again.

It's the (D)heartbeat, the (F#m7)center, the (Bm)lifeline you (G)enter.

(D)never change, never change,

never change, they never change.
