G
Today, I felt warm, the sun held back the storm, and I just rode,
F
all over town.
C G
No thoughts about gas, just my innocent past and I felt alive
F
for the first time.
C G
And I thought, "Why don't I walk three miles in the dark to see you?"
F
'cause that's something I never do.
C G
It was those days back then that made me the person I am, and now they're gone.
F
Those days are long gone.
G F
And the worst part of all is that nobody calls when they're having a hard time.
G F
We all sit and we stare with friends that don't care and we sink lower.
G F
We try to be strong, but if we just sing along, we'll all feel together.
G F
And I know that you're scared, but I promise and swear that I'm here for you
C
Every last one.
C G
It's days like today, that I don't feel afraid and I'm hopeful
F
this is all for the best.
C G
And although things have changed, there's a reason to stay standing
F
because we've been through so much.
C G
And it's not what I want, but it'll have to be enough for now
F
'til a better day finds me.
C G
And when that day comes, I'll know right where I was when I almost gave up,
F
but I never will.
G F
And I want you to know that I've changed and I've grown and I'm happy.
G F
There are people with lives that we just pass on by and it's not fair.
G F
We don't give them the time, and we act like it's fine, but it's not.
G F
But you're a person to me, and I want you to see that I understand
C
'cause I'm just like you.

C
All over town.
