Em   D/F#
Everyday
    Bm      C
The same mistake
    Em           D/F#
The pieces don't fit
      Bm    C
How I guess

Em      D/F#     Bm     C
Worn so thin and caving in
Em     D/F#      Bm     C
Frozen between a no and yes

PDC HORUS

Em  D/F#   Bm          C
Oh, Oh I'm sliding for some time
Em  D/F#  Bm         C
Oh, Oh    Ripping in two
Em  D/F#    Bm     C
Oh, Oh, The memory planted
Em  D/F#     Bm        C
Oh, Oh,  I'm just what grew

CHORUS

Em*         D
You come to find me
  G            C
A mess at your door
Em*        D         G         C
Arms under elbows as I hit the floor
Em*       D        G              C
I mean to tell you just what I've done
Em*           D              G           C
How could you choose me when I've just begun
C                    Bm              Em    D/F#   
Bm   C
Don't know what I'll be when morning comes

VERSE (SAME)

Every night
The sheets pulled tight
I'm sinking before I begin
Silent as the light goes black
And digging to see what beats within

PDC HORUS (SAME)

I'm sliding for some time
Ripping in two
A mountain of ashes
I'm just like you

CHORUS (SAME)

You come to find me
A mess at your door
Arms under elbows as I hit the floor
I mean to tell you just what I've done
How could you choose me when I've just begun
Don't know what I'll be when morning comes
