Opening Up

	  		
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             D                 D 
Never change, never change, and never change.
