I got a bunch of requests for this song, so here it is. It's simpler than it sounds 
actually even though it is Charlie playing the piano.
You will notice that the intro is repeated at the end of each chorus, until the last 
few. Also, the Cmaj7 from the intro is sometimes used in the verse in place of C, but 
that's really just improvisational. Sounds great of course, but it's not necessary.
There is one moment in the first pre-chorus where the 12-string plays an A note, which can 
be played on a normal guitar as an A8 (octave). That octave also sounds good as a 5th if 
you feel so inclined (I think it's easier). For the rest of the song that part is played 
as a D. It makes for a slightly jarring transition, but it makes it quite satisfying when 
the song falls into the predicted I-V-VI-IV pattern.

I got a bunch of requests for this song, so here it is. It's simpler than it sounds

actually even though it is Charlie playing the piano.

You will notice that the intro is repeated at the end of each chorus, until the last

few. Also, the Cmaj7 from the intro is sometimes used in the verse in place of C, but

that's really just improvisational. Sounds great of course, but it's not necessary.

There is one moment in the first pre-chorus where the 12-string plays an A note, which can

be played on a normal guitar as an A8 (octave). That octave also sounds good as a 5th if

you feel so inclined (I think it's easier). For the rest of the song that part is played

as a D. It makes for a slightly jarring transition, but it makes it quite satisfying when

the song falls into the predicted I-V-VI-IV pattern.

I thought of a short robe that was keeping you warm

Em C

And the moments that make up your life till you wake up

G D

You sit on a swing in the dark with a girl

Em C

And she tells you she wanted to kiss you

[Chorus 1]

And you know that

G D

The worst part of a good day is hearing yourself say

Em C

Goodbye to one more possibility day

Em G Cmaj7 G

It goes on

Em G Cmaj7

And on...

[Verse 2]

Em C G

I go west but your weather has changed

Em C G

You're just scared, I mistake it for strange

Em C G

When you want me to leave then you start to believe I should stay

Em C G

I gotta get out of L.A.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

G D

It seems like the short days are over

Em C

Cause you just don’t sleep in the daylight, so I don’t sit up nights

G D

I lie on my back on top of the hill

Em C

And your body is breaking the sky 'cause you're shaking

[Chorus 2]

G D

And the worst part of a good day is knowing it's slipping

Em C

Away, that's one more possibility day

Em G Cmaj7 G

It's gone.

Em G Cmaj7

[Verse 3]

Em C G

We were waiting for winter this year

Em C G

But you came and it never appeared

Em C G

Me and you we know too many reasons for people and seasons

Em C G

That pass like they weren't even here

[Verse 4]

Em C G

Now living in smiles is better you say

Em C G

We carry the burdens of all of our days

Em C G

So scared that you’ll leave, you’re scared that I'll stay

Em C G

It's an impossibility day

Em C G

And we only saw half the ballet

[Pre-Chorus 3]

G D

I said good night, goodbye

Em C

Seems like a good thing, so you know it's a good lie

G D

You can run out of choices and still hear a voice in your

Em C

Head when you’re lying in bed

[Chorus 3]

()

And it says that

G D

The best part of a bad day is knowing it's ok

Em C

The color of everything changes

G D

The sky rearranges its shade, and your smile doesn’t fade

Em C

Into the phone call and one bad decision we made

[Chorus 4]

G D

And the worst part of a good day is the one thing you don’t say

Em C

And you don’t know how but you wish there was some way

G D

So you pull down the shades, and you shut out the light

Em C

Because somehow we mixed up "goodbye" and "goodnight"

[Chorus 5]

G D

And the one thing you don't say is everyone knows

Em C

Possibility days are impossible

Em G Cmaj7 G

It just feels wrong

Em G Cmaj7 G

So wrong...

Em G Cmaj7 G

Now you're gone

Em D/F# C F

Long gone...
