"Big Day Coming (Acoustic)" by Yo La Tengo's Extra Painful CD 2.

[Verse]

G C G C G C G C

Let's be undecided, let's take our time

D C D G C G C

And sooner or later we will know our mind

G C G C G C G C

We'll be on the outside, we won't care

D C D G C G C

Because we're together, that's somewhere

[Chorus]

C D C D G C G C

And there's a big day coming, 'bout a mile away

C D C D G C G C

There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait

[Verse]

G C G C G C G C

Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps,

C D C D G C G C

The way that we used to, without a plan

G C G C G C G C

We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence,

C D C D G C G C

And it'll sound pretty good, till I forget how it ends

[Chorus]

C D C D G C G C

And there's a big day coming, 'bout a mile away

C D C G

There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait

[Verse]

G C G C G C G C

I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep,

C D C D G C G C

'Cause I'd been thinking of where it all would lead

G C G C G C G C

So I made you wake up, said, "Let's take a walk,

C D C D G C G C

I wanna hold your hand, we don't have to talk"

[Chorus]

C D C D G C G C

And there's a big day coming, 'bout a mile away

C D C G

There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait

G C G C G C

I can hardly wait

G C G C G C

I can hardly wait.
