Some days life's gonna wear you down, gonna wear you down
G
Some days life's gonna wear you down, gonna wear you down
        C                                                  G
There's dust upon the stairs, the mansion has the air of a tomb
G
She hardly leaves her room some days

G
I have never been the type to go to church
G
And I have never prayed for anyone but her
      C                                                         G
But I pray for her each night, dreaming that it might catch her ear
                              D        C
I hope, my dear, life doesn't wear you down

G

[Verse 2]
G
The wind is rising
G
The sun is shining
    C
The dawn is breaking
    G
The world is waking

G
The church bells ring
G
The choir sings
C               G
 The people pray their sins away
                D                C
And you feel so odd, so far from God

G

[Verse 3]
G
The days are dark
G
The nights are long
     C
Your heart is tired
G
 Of being strung along

G
Get out of bed
G
You sleepyhead
C                   G
 It's another chance to start again
             D                    C
Please don't forget that I'm your friend
