Intro:
G+G D* x3
G+G D MajorD
Verse 1:
G+G D MajorD
I used to think I'd change the world if I could write a song
G+G D*
Good enough to make you see the truth
G+G D MajorD
But everything I touch has turned to ruin and gone wrong
G+G D*
And I can't believe the arrogance of youth
G+G D MajorD
I know the world is turning when it feels like standing still
G+G D*
Or slipping ever backwards by degrees
G+G D MajorD
It feels like I'm always dying on the least productive hill
G+G D*
And I haven't even planted any trees
Pre-Chorus:
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
But all my chords, all of my G+G major chords
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
You know they couldn't move the House of Lords
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And all I felt, all the pain I ever felt
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
You know it never stopped thе ice caps melt
Chorus:
G*
Some days this world
D* G+G
It makеs me hide beneath the covers
D* G+G
But some days are worse than others
Break:
D MajorD G/BG/B G+G D* G+G
Verse 2:
G+G D MajorD
I used to think my heart was so reliable and strong
G+G D MajorD
Steady 'neath your feet as frozen ground
G+G D MajorD
Believing all the promises of poetry and song
G+G D*
I never dreamt how far I'd let you down
G+G D MajorD
And I know I am remembered for the shattering of dreams
G+G D*
And never all the time I held the roof
G+G D MajorD
Our fossilised worst moments held forever in extremes
G+G D MajorD
And I console myself with versions of the truth
Pre-Chorus:
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
For all I gave, all I told myself I gave
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
I really thought that I was being brave
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
For all I swore, ever steady, ever more
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
It comes to nothing if you're keeping score
Chorus:
G*
Some nights I can
D* G+G
Answer the charges of those lovers
D* G+G
Some nights are worse than others
D MajorD G/BG/B G+G
Some nights are worse than others
Break:
D* G+G
Verse 3:
G+G D MajorD
I used to think my stories were the place I could be known
G+G D MajorD
And told them without having to pretend
G+G D MajorD
Now finally old enough to know that I'm not fully grown
G+G D*
I see that I don't know how they will end
G+G D MajorD
The skins I shed, the roads I tread, the ways that I have fared
G+G D*
They've turned me into someone not the same
G+G D MajorD
Some days I feel the anchor of the years that we have shared
G+G D MajorD
But some days I can only feel the chain
Pre-Chorus:
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And it washes off, yeah it all just washes off
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And my arms will always be too soft
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
I understand, maybe I finally understand
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
That I might never know just who I am
Chorus:
G*
Some days I still
D* G+G
Wake up jealous of my brothers
D* G+G
Some days are worse than others
Instr:
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G x2
Chorus:
G*
Some days I still
D* G+G
Wanna hide beneath the covers
D*
Wonder how we will recover
D*
Search the eyes of friends and lovers
D*
For a sign of my true colours
D MajorD G+G
But some days are worse
D MajorD G+G
Some days are worse than others
