[Verse 1]

From day to day,

Getting used to it all,

falling down again.

We’re waiting for,

any more of my life.

Live from day to day,

live from hand to mouth.

Facing the light,

I brush aside your plans.

I’m going to have,

it all my own way.

Am G/C F

And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall,
