If I'm not Em7 Allowed to give up on mine, Cadd9 G Cadd9 G You are not allowed to not even try. Em7 D/F# Cadd9 One day at a time, you'll have to remake G D/F# The same decision as the one I made last night. Em7 G Cadd9 G You and I have already started to die. Em7 G Cadd9 G And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive. Em7 G Cadd9 G And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times Em7 G Cadd9 G But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine. Em7 Cadd9 G And sometimes, we need to find a Em7 Cadd9 G Reason for the pain in our own lives. Oh, and Em7 Cadd9 G Mine was you and I promise this song is a place for the truth. Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 We can’t keep hiding and hurting. I know I’ve tried to. G Em7 D/F# Cadd9 One day at a time, we just might have to remake G D/F# The decision every day for the rest of life.
