β« Verse:
D
Can you see the good things in your life

See what's really happening and why
A
Hear that distant bell so clear and bright
A
Heralding a new day. Somewhere, all connected
D
In your mind
β« Verse:
D
Can you jump for joy and clap in time
D
Not a trace of goodness you could find
A
Is there not a moment you could cite

That takes you through the back roads

Down by the river. Somewhere in the cobwebs
D
Of your mind
β« Chorus:
D
So don't go
Dmaj7
And get by

'Cause that's not life
G
It's just getting through the day

So I say

Change today
Bm
Save yourself
G
And save all those around you too

Were made from paper, not from stone

But only you can now decide

It's just getting through the day

If I may

Save yourself

And save all those around you too
