Opening Up

Key: D

Introduction:

 D 
The day starts like the rest I've seen
                         A 
Another carbon copy of where I've already been.
 Bm                                                                                 G         A 
Days keep coming one on one, and they keep coming.
 D 
Don't know what I wish I had,
                             A 
But there's no time now,
For thinking things like that.
                   Bm 
I've got too much to do (too much to do)
                     G 
We've got too much to do, too much to do.
 D                                             Am   G 
Opening up, letting the day in.
                                                   D 
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how ya been?"
 D                                                   Am     G 
Looking around, seeing the same things.
                                                               D 
It's comforting how some things never change.
Never change, never change. Do they?
 D 
I wouldn't call this place a happy end,
                             A 
But I've been 'round the block and just came back again.
 Bm                                                                                   G               A 
Could be worse, so make it work, no place is perfect.
           D 
Hey, no good in the outside world,
                     A 
Because I feel too much and find it usually hurts.
     Bm                                                                   G 
I like the way most of the days look exactly the same.
 D                                 Am   G 
Opening up, everyday starts
                                                     D 
Over a cup, served with, "Hello, how ya been?"
 D                                                   Am   G 
Welcoming in, whatever the day brings
 D 
More of the same things.
 Am                                                     D 
Check the clock, tick, tick, tock
                                                     Am 
Don't stop, serve with a smile, hurry up.
                         D                                               Am 
Fill the coffee cup, and then in a while,
                                                         D 
Take a breath, when you need to be reminded
           G       D       A                                                 Bm 
That days like these, we can only do the best we can.
         G 
And do it all again.
                     D                           A                     Am                       G 
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
                     D                           A                     Am                       G 
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
                     D                           A                     Am                       G 
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
 D                                             Am   G 
Opening up, letting the day in.
                                                   D 
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how ya been?"
 D                                                   Am     G 
Looking around, seeing the same things.
                                                               D 
It's comforting how some things never change.
 D 
Never change, never change, and never change.
