🎸 Verse:

G+G
Here's a little trap
   FF     G+G        FF
That sometimes catches everyone
G+G           FF   G+G FF
When today's as far as we can see
G+G            G+G
Faith in bright tomorrows
   G+G      FF
Giving way to resignation

🎸 Chorus:

D MajorD       G+G
That's how it is
D MajorD    G+G
How it's going to be
D MajorD      G+G
It's such a cloudy day
E minorEm        A augmentedA
Seems we'll never see the sun
 D MajorD    G+G       E minorEm   A augmentedA
I feel the day has possibilities
D MajorD       G+G
Frozen in the moment
  E minorEm    A augmentedA
The lack of imagination
D MajorD       G+G       E minorEm
Between how it is and how it ought to be
D MajorD       G+G       E minorEm     A augmentedA
Between how it is and how it ought to be

Here's a little trap
   FF     G+G       FF

When we tire of our own company
G+G          FF       G+G          FF
Sometimes we're the last to see beyond the day's frustrations

That's how it is

Seems we'll never see the sun
D MajorD     G+G      E minorEm   A augmentedA
I feel the day is all uncertainty
D MajorD       G+G
Burning in the moment
E minorEm       A augmentedA
Trapped by the desperation
D MajorD       G+G       E minorEm
Between how it is and how it ought to be
D MajorD       G+G       E minorEm     A augmentedA
Between how it is and how it ought to be

D MajorD
Foot upon the stair

Shoulder to the wheel

You can't tell yourself not to care

That's how it is

The lack of imagination
D MajorD       G+G       E minorEm
Between how it is and how it ought to be
D MajorD       G+G       E minorEm     A augmentedA
Between how it is and how it ought to be
D MajorD G+G E minorEm D MajorD
