Intro:

G D* x3
G D


Verse 1:
  G                                     D
I used to think I'd change the world if I could write a song
G                               D*
Good enough to make you see the truth
    G                                D
But everything I touch has turned to ruin and gone wrong
      G                               D*
And I can't believe the arrogance of youth
  G                                 D
I know the world is turning when it feels like standing still
   G                            D*
Or slipping ever backwards by degrees
   G                                  D
It feels like I'm always dying on the least productive hill
      G                          D*
And I haven't even planted any trees


Pre-Chorus:
           A              Bm   A     G
But all my chords, all of my G major chords
              D                 D/F#           G
You know they couldn't move the House of Lords
          A             Bm     A    G
And all I felt, all the pain I ever felt
            D                 D/F#          G
You know it never stopped thе ice caps melt


Chorus:
               G*
Some days this world
                             D*       G
It makеs me hide beneath the covers
                             D*       G
But some days are worse than others


Break:
D  G/B  G  D*  G


Verse 2:
  G                               D
I used to think my heart was so reliable and strong
G                                 D
Steady 'neath your feet as frozen ground
  G                           D
Believing all the promises of poetry and song
  G                                D*
I never dreamt how far I'd let you down
      G                            D
And I know I am remembered for the shattering of dreams
    G                             D*
And never all the time I held the roof
    G                             D
Our fossilised worst moments held forever in extremes
      G                                   D
And I console myself with versions of the truth


Pre-Chorus:
          A           Bm     A      G
For all I gave, all I told myself I gave
         D                 D/F#     G
I really thought that I was being brave
          A           Bm      A    G
For all I swore, ever steady, ever more
            D           D/F#           G
It comes to nothing if you're keeping score


Chorus:
              G*
Some nights I can
                            D*       G
Answer the charges of those lovers
                           D*       G
Some nights are worse than others
                           D     G/B  G
Some nights are worse than others


Break:
D*  G


Verse 3:
  G                                 D
I used to think my stories were the place I could be known
    G                              D
And told them without having to pretend
    G                               D
Now finally old enough to know that I'm not fully grown
  G                                   D*
I see that I don't know how they will end
    G                                    D
The skins I shed, the roads I tread, the ways that I have fared
        G                              D*
They've turned me into someone not the same
     G                             D
Some days I feel the anchor of the years that we have shared
    G                             D
But some days I can only feel the chain


Pre-Chorus:
             A             Bm       A      G
And it washes off, yeah it all just washes off
       D                D/F#    G
And my arms will always be too soft
        A             Bm      A    G
I understand, maybe I finally understand
       D                     D/F#   G
That I might never know just who I am


Chorus:
             G*
Some days I still
                       D*        G
Wake up jealous of my brothers
                          D*     G
Some days are worse than others


Instr:
A   Bm A G
D   D/F# G  x2


Chorus:
             G*
Some days I still
                         D*      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      G
But some days are worse
                         D       G
Some days are worse than others
