[Verse 1]
DIt is so easy to see
Dmaj7Dysfunction between you and me
Gmaj7We must free up these tired souls
GBefore the sadness kills us both
DI tried and tried to let you know
Dmaj7I love you but I'm letting go
Gmaj7It may not last but I don't know
GJust don't know
[Pre-Chorus]
DIf you don't know, then you can't care
Dmaj7And I show up, but you're not there
Gmaj7But I'm waiting, and you want to
GStill afraid that I will desert you
[Chorus]
DEvery day
With eveDmaj7ry worthless word we get more Dfar away
The dDmaj7istance between us makes it so hGard to stay
But noGmaj7thing lasts forever, but be hGmonest babe
It hurts but it may be the only wayD

[Intro]

D Dmaj7 Gmaj7 G

[Verse 1]

It is so easy to see

Dmaj7

Dysfunction between you and me

Gmaj7

We must free up these tired souls

Before the sadness kills us both

I tried and tried to let you know

Dmaj7

I love you but I'm letting go

Gmaj7

It may not last but I don't know

Just don't know

[Pre-Chorus]

If you don't know, then you can't care

And I show up, but you're not there

Gmaj7

But I'm waiting, and you want to

Still afraid that I will desert you

[Chorus]

Every day

Dmaj7 D

With every worthless word we get more far away

Dmaj7 G

The distance between us makes it so hard to stay

Gmaj7 Gm

But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe

It hurts but it may be the only way

[Verse 2]

A bed that's warm with memories

Dmaj7

Can heal us temporarily

Gmaj7

But misbehaving only makes

The ditch between us so damn deep

I built a wall around my heart

Dmaj7

Never let it fall apart

Gmaj7

Strangely, I wish secretly

It would fall down while I'm asleep

[Pre-Chorus]

If you don't know, then you can't care

Dmaj7

And I show up, but you're not there

Gmaj7

But I'm waiting, and you want to

Still afraid that I will desert you

[Chorus]

Every day

But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe

It hurts but it may be the only way

Though we have not hit the ground

G D Bm

Doesn't mean we're not still falling, oh

I want so bad to pick you up

G D

But you're still too reluctant to accept my help

What a shame, I hope you find somewhere to place the blame

But until then the fact remains

[Chorus]

Every day

Dmaj7 D

With every worthless word we get more far away

Dmaj7 G

The distance between us makes it so hard to stay

Gmaj7 Gm

But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe

It hurts but it may be the only way

Every day

Dmaj7 D

With every worthless word we get more far away

Dmaj7 G

The distance between us makes it so hard to stay

Gmaj7 Gm

But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe

It hurts but it may be the only way
