This Is The Day Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

A♯reGmpeCaD♯t throughout song

 Well, you A♯didn't wake up this morning

 Cuz, you Gmdidn't go to bed

 You were Cwatching the whites of your D♯eyes turn red

The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off

You've been reading some old letters

You smile and think how much you've changed

All the money in the world

Couldn't buy back those days

You pull back your curtains

And the sun burns into your eyes

You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky

This is the day - your life will surely change

This is the day - when things fall into place

You could've done anything -

if you'd wnated

And all your friends and family

Think that you're lucky

But the side of you they'll never see

Is when you're left alone with the memories

That hold your life together like glue

(note: I like to think he says "glue on glue" there)

G♯mI watch the sEun go downG♯m on D♯LonG♯mdon town

I wait for the night voices to sound

I smell the pain upon the breath of the lost and the lonely

Oh Lord

I hear the thought that whisper in the hearts of all men

I'm the helpline operator and I'll spare you the time

I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine

Put your tongue into the mouthpiece

And whisper in my ear

Admit to me

The things you can't admit to yourself

Admit to me and no one else

Everybody's looking for someone

To tell them what they want to hear

Everybody's looking for true love

To help them feel what they cannot feel

I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time

I'm the intimate stranger

Your problems will be mine

I'm the helpline operator
