[Verse 1]
GSome days life's gonna wear you down, gonna wear you down
GSome days life's gonna wear you down, gonna wear you down
There's Cdust upon the stairs, the mansion has the air of a Gtomb
GShe hardly leaves her room some days
GI have never been the type to go to church
GAnd I have never prayed for anyone but her
But I Cpray for her each night, dreaming that it might catch her Gear
I hope, my dear, life doesn't Dwear you Cdown
G
[Verse 2]
GThe wind is rising
GThe sun is shining
The Cdawn is breaking
The Gworld is waking
GThe church bells ring
GThe choir sings
 CThe people pray Gtheir sins away
And you feel so Dodd, so far from CGod
G
[Verse 3]
GThe days are dark
GThe nights are long
Your Cheart is tired
 GOf being strung along
GGet out of bed
GYou sleepyhead
 CIt's another chance Gto start again
Please don't Dforget that I'm your Cfriend

[Verse 1]

Some days life's gonna wear you down, gonna wear you down

C G

There's dust upon the stairs, the mansion has the air of a tomb

She hardly leaves her room some days

I have never been the type to go to church

And I have never prayed for anyone but her

C G

But I pray for her each night, dreaming that it might catch her ear

D C

I hope, my dear, life doesn't wear you down

[Verse 2]

The wind is rising

The sun is shining

The dawn is breaking

The world is waking

The church bells ring

The choir sings

C G

The people pray their sins away

D C

And you feel so odd, so far from God

[Verse 3]

The days are dark

The nights are long

Your heart is tired

Of being strung along

Get out of bed

You sleepyhead

C G

It's another chance to start again

D C

Please don't forget that I'm your friend
