Intro:
G D/F# Em C


Verse 1:
     G                   D/F#
By tomorrow, I bet I can crawl out of bed
      Em                  C
And I might even open the shades
         G                    D/F#
Then the weekend'll fly, some friends’ll drop by
    Em                  C
And tell me I'll be okay
   G                       D/F#
By Tuesday, the hurt won't keep me from work
         Em                   C
And I’ll hide it from everyone
       G                    C              G
Sounds easy to do if I just get through day one

Verse 2:
     G                   D/F#
In a week or so, all the neighbors'll know
          Em                        C
When they don't see your car outside
   G                D/F#
By day seventeen, I won't need a drink
   Em                   C
To help me close my eyes
   G                      D/F#
On day twenty-eight, I'll go on a date
          Em                  C
And he'll think I'm havin' fun
       G                    C              G
Sounds easy to do if I just gеt through day one


Chorus:
  D            Em          C
I know I’ll be bettеr off alone
                     G                            C
Give it time, broken hearts have a mind of their own
       Em                   C
I wish I knew a way to skip over the pain, but I don’t
        G                 D/F#
There's no way to say how long it’ll take
         Em                 C
'Til the damage comes undone
G               C                     G
All I can do is try to get through day one


Verse 3:
   G                 D/F#
By day forty-five, I won't have to drive
        Em                  C
By your house on my way home
   G                    D/F#
By day ninety-two, if I run into you
         Em                         C
It won't kill me if you’re not alone
   G                       D/F#
By fall or by winter, I'll barely remember
    Em                       C
How hard this first night was
     G                 C                     G
When all I could do is try to get through day one


Chorus:
  D            Em          C
I know I’ll be bettеr off alone
                     G                            C
Give it time, broken hearts have a mind of their own
       Em                   C
I wish I knew a way to skip over the pain, but I don’t

Verse 4:
G                            D/F#
There'll come a time, wakin' up on your side
       Em                       C
Of the bed won't feel so strange
      G                       D/F#
Right now, it seems crazy, it won't even phase me
     Em                    C
When someone says your name
   G                         D/F#
It might take a while, but I might even smile
     Em                    C
When that day finally comes
               G                   C                   G
You'll just be someone I knew if I just get through day one
           G                 C                   G
Yeah, I'll get over you if I just get through day one
