E B4 A A
[Verse]
E B4 A
Pull the covers from my eyes, I’ve been hiding in this bed for days
E B4 A
As if sleeping could make all my problems go away
E B4 A A
Each appearance of night is another day wasted, missed opportunities, failed excuses
E B4 A
Facing problems head on is the only escape from this haze
E B4 A
The last four years have offered many excuses
E B4 A
The next four won’t offer any more
E B4 A A
I’ve cut others down to raise myself up as if harsh words were ever enough
E B4 A
Admitting the problem is a testament to change
[Chorus]
E B4 A
I’m trying to make every day count, every day count
E B4 A A
So that good times are many and failings are few, and my life can be a tribute to you
E B4 A
I’m trying to make every day count, every day count
E B4 A A
So that good times are many and failings are few, and my life can be a tribute to you
E B4 A A
E B4 A A
[Verse]
E B4 A
Taking two steps back the whole thing became clearer
E B4 A
Everything formulaic and precise
E B4 A A
The prizes are all laid out for the taking, justice is merely seeking a reason
E B4 A
To enter in and set the world to rights
[Chorus]
E B4 A
I’m trying to make every day count, every day count
E B4 A A
So that good times are many and failings are few, and my life can be a tribute to you
E B4 A
I’m trying to make every day count, every day count
E B4 A A
So that good times are many and failings are few, and my life can be a tribute to you
[Bridge]
A E B4 B
We won’t be young forever, we’re aging every day
A E B4 B
And there’s no guarantee we’ll even make it through this day
A E B4 B
So while I’m young I’m taking chances, stealing looks then second glances
E B4 A
We’re gonna leave the world richer than when we came
[Chorus]
E B4 A
I’m trying to make every day count, every day count
E B4 A A
So that good times are many and failings are few, and my life can be a tribute to you
E B4 A A
I’m trying to make every day count, every day count
E B4 A A
So that good times are many and failings are few, and my life can be a tribute to you
