Day & Nights

Moderate Tempo
Key of A
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A6 E (in beginning and between each verse and chorus)

Verse
A6 E
You welcomed me here
A6 E
With a smile and a chance to change
A6 E
Two days before my date of birth
D A6
We did speak

And there were days you pushed me down
Climbing trees and crossing streams
And we shared our first bottle of wine
And we cried

Chorus
D
If I left tomorrow
A
Would you leave today
D
Our days are all still at hand
C G
We are free
A6 E
Cause I gotta go
A6 E
And I gotta go
A6 E
Yes I gotta go
D A6
Right Now

Now we did meet in circumstance
Unknown to us for common sense
We did nothing but talk and laugh
Covered Inside

And in your eyes I tried my mind
Spent my time wrapped in your game
Waiting for the days to go
To be alone

You get more than all the rest
For you did hurt me to my bone
And if I did declare my dream
Well who knows

In the days we see ourselves
Is it hard to be yourself
Won’t you please come go along
Go with me
Cause I gotta go
And I gotta go
Yes I gotta go
Right Now

One night doing shots of rum
Tender traced in the other one
And leave through your lengthy step
I ask why

And you used to sing to me
And all we claimed was purity
Doing things in your special way
I still want you

You were such a sweet transition
So sweet and easy on my eyes
But in your pain you did not sleep
Waiting for me

If I was to come see you
As the man I am not the man I wanna be
Could you just hold me in your eyes
And keep from changing
Cause I gotta go
And I gotta go
Yes I gotta go
Right Now

Now I spent hours in my door
And waited to do nothing more
Shook me with your defiant roar
And I screamed no

As for you you have escaped
Left from my broken sight
I can only see you in the sleep
Of my nights

A6 E
And my days
And my nights
And my days
And my nights
And you get the idea . . . (not a lyric)
