Chords for The Roots - The Day (feat. Blu, Phonte & Patty Crash)

_ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [G#m] I can _ [F#] _ _ [E] see a [A] clear _ [G#m] vision.
[F#] I should start living [E] today.
Cause [A] today is gonna be [G#m] the day.
It's gonna be [F#] the day.
_ [E] Cause [C#m] today is gonna be [G#m] the day.
It's gonna be [F#] the day.
[E] Yeah, it's like [A] everyday I wake up.
I stare [G#] into space and don't say [F#] much.
Peer in the mirror [E] feeling dead from the face [A] up.
Coffee, pot, [G#m] cigarettes, morning jays, dailies, [F#] all the things I need.
Slowing down my day [E] before it picks up the pace.
[A] Beats playing since the night [G#m] before.
Thinking about writing [F#] songs, feeling exhausted [E] from times we tore cars [A] down.
And plus, the [G#m] toxics I sip got me frost [F#] still tipsy.
Staring at [E] the city from the spot we call [A] Los Angeles.
[G#] Everyday is like a blade [F#] canvas.
Carving my [E] initials in the planet like I'm [A] Brandy.
Handpicked to live [G#m] this life.
We take for granted [F#] like a child with an upright [E] base.
We can't stand [A] it.
Smiling through the trouble [G#m] we face.
Trying to [F#] manage my weight without pumping [E] my brakes.
I'm staying [A] stagnant cause I can't sit [G#m] on my ass.
So just [F#] imagine the madness I'll hit on [E] my path and paint the canvas.
[A] When I wake up, [G#m] I look in through [F#] the mirror.
[E] I can see [A] a clearer [G#m] vision.
[F#] I should start living [E] today.
Cause [A] today is gonna be [G#m] the day.
It's gonna be [C#] the day.
[E] Cause [A] today is gonna be [G#] the day.
It's gonna be [F#] the day.
_ [E] _ _
[A] Before I rise [G#m] and shine like a neon [F#] sign.
I need the girl of [E] my dreams to give me [A] Einstein.
And burn the [G#m] marijuana like Wu-Tang [F#] is my only bona [E] fide.
Break from these [C#m] confines.
I need to [G#m] change the scene.
We like a [F#] montage.
These kids ringing [E] me to noise like the bomb [A] squad.
And everybody [G#m] coming at me from the blind [F#] side.
I'm tired.
It's [E] hard to open up my [A] eyes wide.
I listen to [G#m] some teen music on an [F#] iPod.
And walk around [E] the crib doing little [A] odd jobs.
Checking the prep, [G#m] taking you from this [F#] high rise.
Feeling like I'm checking [E] out a game from the [A] sidelines.
I got to try [G#m] different things in these [F#] fine times.
20 cent [E] is different than it was in [A] 9-5.
It's come a [G#m] lifetime.
I pick the [F#] fine time.
For getting [E] open off life like a fine wine.
[A] When I wake up, [G#m] I look in through [F#] the mirror.
[E] I can see [A] a clearer [G#m] vision.
[F#] I should start [E] living today.
[A] Cause today is gonna be [G#m] the day.
It's gonna be [C#] the day.
[E] _
[A] Cause today is gonna [G#m] be the day.
It's gonna [F#] be the day.
[E] _
[A] Yeah.
[G#m] Sunday morning.
Plan my [F#] day out.
Whole new [B] blueprint.
Brand new [A] layout.
Deep down [G#m] still don't know if it'll [F#] play out.
But for the first [E] time, feel like I done found a way [A] out.
Skin getting [G#m] thinner and it feel like I lost [F#] weight.
Stop and say a [E] prayer for the times I lost [A] faith.
Troubles of the world had me in a cross [F#] face.
Chicken wings, [E] sickening, living so [A] off base.
But now it's like I'm [G#m] in the last lap of the car [F#] chase.
And I finally [E] understand my right to choose.
[A] My preacher man [G#m] told me it could always be worse.
[F#] Even a three legged [E] dog still got three good legs [A] to lose.
So you can stop and refresh the wound.
[F#] Breathe in, breathe [E] out, let it fill all your [C#m] exit wounds.
Something inside said that's the move.
[F#] And maybe today I will [E] start fresh anew.
[A] When I wake up, [G#m] I look in [F#] through the mirror.
[E] I can see [A] a clearer [G#m] vision.
[F#] I should start [E] living today.
[A] Cause today is gonna [G#m] be the day.
It's gonna [C#] be the day.
[E] _
[A] Cause today is gonna be the day.
It's gonna [F#] be the day.
It's gonna [E] be the day.
It's gonna [A] be the day.
It's gonna be the day.
It's gonna [C#m] be the day.
It's gonna be the day.
It's gonna be the day. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
