Intro: F  G  C  (2x) 

                  F      G            C   
The first part of every day for me is good 
             F        G              C   
I've got the bus stop in my neighbourhood 
                    Em       F               C 
And everything's on purpose, everywhere they go 
             Em      F              G 
Hiding in my car and running in the snow 
         C       Em              Am       G 
Running with the friends they'll know for years 
     F       C        Csus4/F     C 
I've seen it all from here,  from here 


              G      F               C 
Happens every day, before they go to school 
                    G          F            C 
They play until the bus drives up beside my lawn 
                          G          F                   C 
And there's always been a mother who waits 'til they are gone 
                Am 
Then she turns away 
            C    Em   F  G  C   
Happens every day 


               F          G             C   
Noon comes and turns this campus upside down 
            F        G               C   
I watch the students in this college town 
                        Em        F                 C 
You would think they're carefree, I have seen their trials 
              Em              F                G 
Frowning into Shakespeare and practicing their smiles 
     C    Em     Am  G 
Even underlining Nabokov 
     F    C      Csus4/F   C 
When I am not in love,  in love 


                 G               F             C 
It happens every day, with their journals in cafes 
                      G        F            C 
Looking up at their reflection on the other wall 
               G              F                     C 
With every new idea wondering if they've changed at all 
                    Am 
And then they look away 
            C    Em    F  G  C    F  G  C    F  G  C   
Happens every day 


                 F           G            C   
Well, life is as hard and as easy as they say 
            F           G              C   
Walking the steps we've chosen on this day 
                Em       F                C 
Some will be outrageous, some have rarely shown 
                  Em       F               G 
Some will walk in couples, some will walk alone 
     C      Em       Am      G 
As I think about the world I see 
     F         C        Csus4/F   C 
They stare and smile at me,    at me 


                 G          F               C 
It happens every day at the crossing of the street 
                          G       F                C 
Walking out to see what's new and what is just the same 
                      G       F           C 
And the only word for love is everybody's name 
                     Am 
And that will always stay 
            Em    
Happens every day 
    F              G             Am     F  G  C    F  G  C  C 
And every day will happen without you
