--------------------------------------------
EmDid you make your bed?
Did you lose your head?
Are you still awake
From the things we said…G  
EmYou close your eyes
But the sleep won't come
`Cause you can't escape
What's said and doneG  
EmDid you draw the line
In the sand again
Did you make a stand
Out on a limbG  
CHORUS:
Don't be so hard on DyourselfAm  
C'Cause you can't change the world
You can't change the world aloneD  
EmJust be
EmYou drink too much
`Cause you think too much
It seems so hard to feel
All this is realG  
EmYou numb your heart
So you feel no pain'
Then you miss the bliss
of the pouring rain.G  
EmBut there's a brand new day
It's a shame to waste
It's yours to live
It's yours to tasteG  
Chorus  (2x)

Did you make your bed?

Did you lose your head?

Are you still awake

From the things we said…

You close your eyes

But the sleep won't come

`Cause you can't escape

What's said and done

Did you draw the line

In the sand again

Did you make a stand

Out on a limb

CHORUS:

D Am

Don't be so hard on yourself

'Cause you can't change the world

You can't change the world alone

Just be

You drink too much

`Cause you think too much

It seems so hard to feel

All this is real

You numb your heart

So you feel no pain'

Then you miss the bliss

of the pouring rain.

But there's a brand new day

It's a shame to waste

It's yours to live

It's yours to taste
