One Day at a Time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Let's face the truth
Sooner or later,
no matter what somebody has to lose
I'll be on the road and you're going
to school down in Baton Rouge
And I promise you the world my love,
but what's the use?
But what's the use?
I [G]can't [D]explain how [Bm]it
feels like we have it all
When everything's [G]bound to [A]change
I'm [Bm]fearing that I lose my place
inside of your [G]picture [A]frames
An[Bm]d I promise you the world,
my love, but [G]we can't [D]stay[Bm]

[Verse 2]
To[D]night, [A]we're saying [D]goodbye,
[G]chain-smoking cigarettes
cigarettes
[D]We lie, pretend it's [A]alright
[G]I s[D]ay you'll alw[A]ays be min[G]e,
don't know what happens next
We'll [D]find some [A]way to get [G]by,
one [D]day at a time

[Verse 3]
I [G]know it's [A]hard
I'm [Bm]dreading the moment I see you pack
all that shit [G]in your [A]car
When [Bm]one of us walks out the door
all alone with a [G]broken [A]heart
So [Bm]let's make the most of this moment before it all [G]falls apart,
[A]yea[Bm]h

[Verse 4]
[G]Whatever's meant to be,
[A]just hold your [Bm]head up (hold your head up)
No [G]matter where we go,
[A]I'm on your [Bm]side (on your [G]side)
Let's not make it out [A]like we are [Bm]fed
up (we're not fed [G]up )
There's just no con[A]trolling
when it's [Bm]time, so

[Verse 5]
To[D]night, we're saying goodbye,
[G]chain-smoking cigarettes
cigarettes
[D]We lie, pretend it's alright
[G]I s[D]ay you'll alw[A]ays be min[G]e,
don't know what [D]happens next
We'll find some way to get by,

[Interlude 1]
one day at a time
[D][A][D][G][D][G][D][A][D]
[A][D][G][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Baby, [A]baby, [G]leave [Bm]for the road
You don't need my per[A]mission
to [G]go on your [Bm]own
So don't act [A]crazy and [G]turn
around when you realize
[Bm]The future's hazy,[A]
just [G]keep that piece of shit in drive

[Verse 7]
To[D]night, we're saying goodbye,
chain-smoking ci[G]garettes
ci[D]garettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll [A]always be mine,
[G]don't know what happens next
We'll [D]find some [A]way to get
by, one day [D]at a time
Tonight, [A]we're saying goodbye,
[G]chain-smoking cigarettes
ci[D]garettes
We lie, pre[A]tend it's alright
[D]I say you'll alw[A]ays be min[G]e,
don't know what [D]happens nex[G]t
We'll [D]find some [A]way to get [D]by,
one day at a time
