As the time went by, and I was off in the night

Verse 2:

Everyday
E minorEm
Eight days a week was the song that I'd play

Eight times for me and eight times for the sake

Eight times for love and eight times for the way
           E minorEm
I can remember those days
                  E minorEm
You and every minute wasn't all so strange
                    D MajorD
See you in the spring when the patience pays

I'm strugglin' but hustlin' and lovin' it, always

 I wrote to her eighty-five times
E minorEm
Sometimes for her, but sometimes for my

Sometimes to find the way up in a rhyme

Verse 6:
E minorEm
  I woke up one morning to find
      E minorEm
It was her first name on a billboard sign
D MajorD
  I smiled and said damn what a trip
B minorBm
Just yesterday I had a kiss for her lips

Verse 7:
E minorEm
  Well, usually I don't make much of this
 E minorEm
A augmentedA sign's a sign it doesn't change it a bit
D MajorD
  I choose to stay calm in my sleep
B minorBm
Seein' the prize on April nineteenth

Verse 8:
E minorEm
  That was then, I was down to a week
E minorEm
Longest seven days of my life so to speak

And my head thirsts the girl I've been dying to see, so
