The Fifth Day

(início)

C
And I was alone
F
On the fifth day since you've gone
            G                      C
This broken glass; this early morn
I rub my eyes in the haze
        F
I'm not sleeping anyway
             G
I watch the sun rise up
                              C
In the city where I was born
C
I could call you now
         F
Wouldn't matter what I'd say
G                          C
 Words just aren't enough
I hear our song; press repeat
             F
I smell your perfume on the sheets
            G                                C
You always said, "Boy, you're not so tough"
C
And only now can I say,
           F
"No matter how I shake and shape
           G                      C
It's these things that make you a man"
And frozen mind begins to thaw
               F
You think, "My God, my God, my God
      G           C
Where was it I began?"
C
"I wish you were," is what I'd say
       F
If you asked me in the light of day
          G                                C
But these nights are like a dream I can't shake
And there's your hair and there's your head
                 F
And there's your empty dress on the bed
  G                            C
I wish I could scream myself awake
C
But I won't go back to what I was
           F
And I know now that you are lost
           G                      C
It's your choices that make you a man
And frozen mind begins to thaw
               F
You think, "My God, my God, my God
      G            C
Where was it I began?"
