Intro: G---Em---C-Bm-Am---
ToGmorrow used to be a Emday away
Now Clove is gone and you're Bminto someone far aAmway
I never thought the Gday would come
When I would see his Emhand not mine
Holding on to Cyours because I cBmould not
Find the Amtime
    And now I can't deGnyAm  
    Nothing lasts forGeverAm  
    But I don't wanna Cleave and see the Dteardrops in your EmeyesA  
                  C               D              G-C  G/B-C-G
    I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye
Now there comes anGother part of life
I come aEmlone
Sitting at a Cbar with Chris that BmI can't leave
'Cause my hoAmuse ain't no home
I just wanna Gtouch you girl
I wanna feel you Emclose to me
Without your lCove I would Bmgive up now
And waAmlk away so easily
    So maybe while we'Gre yAmoung
    We'll figure out tGogetAmher
    That even with the Cpain there's a Dremedy, oh and wEme'll be all rAight
                  C               D              G-C  G/B-C-G
    I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye
 DWhen I first Cmet you I couldn't love anyGone
Oh But you stEmole my dreams and you maAde me see that
 I can Dwalk into the sun and I could Cstill be me
    And now I can't deGnyAm  
    Nothing lasts forGeverAm  
    But I don't waCnna leave and see Dthe teardrops in yBmour eyAmes
    So maybe while we'Gre yAmoung

Tomorrow used to be a day away

Sitting at a bar with Chris that I can't leave

'Cause my house ain't no home

I just wanna touch you girl

I wanna feel you close to me

Without your love I would give up now

And walk away so easily
