[Intro]

D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D

[Verse 1]

D D/C D G A D

There's not much to say for what was mine today

F F/E D G A D

But when tomorrow comes, I'll make my way

G/E F#m G C E7 A

Had planned to build a dream or two today

G/E F#m G C E7 A

But everything I tried turned out mistakes

F F/E D G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4

Won't stay down long, tomorrow is my day

[Verse 2]

D D/C D G A D

Casting nets catch dreams; try for what seems to be

F F/E D G A D

Bend that willow round and shape things as I see

G/E F#m G C E7 A

Finding that some cards are drifting in the sea

G/E F#m G C E7 A

And no matter how I play them, they'll trick me

F F/E D G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4

That was his day, tomorrow I'll be free

[Verse 3]

D D/C D G A D

Today played unfair; left me hung up, nowhere

F F/E D G A D

And though it tries to break me I don't care

G/E F#m G C E7 A

Tried to bring my ship in tow to land somewhere

G/E F#m G C E7 A

Today is just another chance that's left me there

F F/E D G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4

Broken toys today, tomorrow's my repair

[Outro]

D D/C D G A D

There's not much to say for what was mine today

F F/E D G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4

Won't stay down long, tomorrow is my day
