Please note these aren't the right chords! They are there to help with the timing of the fingerpicking, the
chords are based on a G, F# and E but they are definitely not exactly a G, F# and E. I copied the already
existing tab so those credits aren't going to me!

[Verse]
G F#
The horse with the wings never turned up for the party
E F#
And I wonder how long 'til he comes looking for me
G F# E F#
So I wait in the room by the river and I watch the world go by
G F# E
And I hear a girl cry and I notice the sound it comes from my own mouth
F# G F#
And I hear your words. "What have I done now?”
E F#
“What have I done now?”
G F#
I look to the floor and you look to the hallway
E F# G
And you say, "I'm sorry for whatever it is and I feel myself groan
F# E F#
'Cause I know I've lived with you here for years now
G F#
And the scratching of the metal as you're putting on the kettle
E F#
Makes my skin crawl and I feel small"
G F#
And the birds slip through the cracks in the glass
E F#
And there's blood on the floor
[Chorus]
G F# E F#
When will this day break?
G F# E F#
When will my heart ache?
G F# E F#
When will this day break?
G F# E F#
When will I find my place?
[Verse]
G F#
Don't talk to me like I'm a shell you found
E F#
On the beach and you put to your ear to hear how
G
Clear I sound, you say, "Sing me a song”
F# E F#
Like I've nothing better to do than sing songs for you
G F#
You hang me on the wall so I'm taller than before
E F#
And I feel like I might fall but I don’t
G F#
I hang there quietly watching the life we lead
E F# G F# E F#
Like it's a prize I could never win, a sea I could never swim
[Chorus]
G F# E F#
When will this day break?
G F# E F#
When will my heart ache?
G F# E F#
When will this day break?
G F# E F#
When will I find my place
