D
The day starts like the rest I've seen
        F#m7
Another carbon copy of where I've already been.
Bm                                         G
Days keep coming one on one, and they keep coming.
D
Don't know what I wish I had,
              F#m7
But there's no time now,
For thinking things like that.
         Am
I've got too much to do (too much to do)
          G
We've got too much to do, too much to do.
D                       Am  G
Opening up, letting the day in.
                         D
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how ya been?"
D                          Am   G
Looking around, seeing the same things.
                               D
It's comforting how some things never change.
Never change, never change. Do they?
D
I wouldn't call this place a happy end,
              F#m7
But I've been 'round the block and just came back again.
Bm                                          G
Could be worse, so make it work, no place is perfect.
     D
Hey, no good in the outside world,
          F#m7
Because I feel too much and find it usually hurts.
Am                                  G
I like the way most of the days look exactly the same.
D                 Am  G
Opening up, everyday starts
                          D
Over a cup, served with, "Hello, how ya been?"
D                          Am  G
Welcoming in, whatever the day brings
D
More of the same things.
Fmaj7                        D/F#
Check the clock, tick, tick, tock
                         Fmaj7
Don't stop, serve with a smile, hurry up.
         D/F#                        Fmaj7
Fill the coffee cup, and then in a while,
                            D/F#
Take a breath, when you need to be reminded
     G    E/G#  A             F#/A#       Bm   A  G
That days like  these, we can only do the best we can.
    Gm
And do it all again.
          D              F#m7        Bm            G
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
          D              F#m7       Bm            G
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
          D              F#m7       Bm            G
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
D                       Am  G
Opening up, letting the day in.
                         D
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how ya been?"
D                          Am   G
Looking around, seeing the same things.
                               D
It's comforting how some things never change.
D             D                 D
Never change, never change, and never change.
