[D] [Am] [C]
[G] Days are [D] short and I ain't [A] down, sun is on the hill, [C] [D] looking at my suitcase [G] for a friend.
Door was [D] open wide, [Am] you know I lost a little [A] pride, [C] and inside [D] it was just [G] another man.
[Em] Every day [C] another man reach [G] out his hand, [A] [C] every moment [Am] there's a shifting [D] in the sand.
[C] Every whisper [D] in the wind [G] brings a good man back again.
Settle me down [D] in my dreams tonight, [Am] tomorrow's another day to blow [G] my blues away.
Lots of [D] folks will tell you [Am] that a man can go through life, [C] [D] taking what he wants [G] along the way.
But until old [D] men are freed, [Am] each one gets but what he needs, [C] the experience [D] of living [G] every day.
[Em] Every day [C] another man reach [G] out his hand, [C] every moment [Am] there's a shifting [D] in the sand.
[C] Every whisper [D] in the wind [G] brings a good man back again.
Settle me down [D] in my dreams tonight, [Am] tomorrow's another day to blow [G] my blues away.
