[C]Daylight is f[F]ading like an a[C]wkward smile[Am]

These days, those days
[Am]I w[E]as taught to bot[F]tle my emp[C]tiness

I was enthralled with the way that
She spoke so softly
For a lady of her finesse and personal hygiene
She had cuts, bruises, scrpes, scratches
Hair tangled everywhere
She spoke in a way that demanded my attention
You're at the top of your game
You're in control of your life
Pearl of the oyster
The cream of the (?)
What I would give for that, I hope you never know
[C]So live your life!
Don't sleep through the n[Am]ight!
[F]Life's worth a living!
You gotta start living it r[G]ight!
So live your l[Am]ife!
Don't sleep through the d[C]ay!
[F]Dreams are for living!
You gotta stop letting them di[G]e
