Intro: E
A
[Q] Do you stop and stare, struck dumb, hands shaking,
E Dbm A B
washed by this constant panicked wishing for what's lost?
A
As you're standing on some curb, waiting to
E Dbm A B
cross, would you say you feel like some weak leaf, wind-turned and tossed?
A E B E
[A] All the time. Every day. Every day, all the time.
A E B
All the time. Every day, every day.
A
[Q] As the streets sail by the seats inside your
E Dbm A B
car, does each face outside collide against your heart?
A
As you watch them blaze, or fade into the
E Dbm A B
dark, do you want to scream that you're so pleased with who they are?
A E B E
[A] Every day, all the time. All the time, every day.
A E B A
Every day. All the time. Every day------.
E
Hey.
Dbm A E
[Q] When that moment arrives (oh, that sweet and tender pain...) do you
Dbm A E
think how there'll come a time when you'll never feel it again?
Dbm A B
Do you try to make it right by thinking that if someone else feels it, it's real, and it won't go away?
Do ya???
[A] ...
A E B E
A E B
A
[Q] Do you fall so short of all that's in your
E Dbm A B
heart when your friends, that you should pull up, you instead pick apart?
A
Do you watch the world get cold, and crushed, and
E Dbm A
small? And when you could do so much, do you do fuck-all?
==PAUSE==
A E B E
[A] All the time. Every day, every day. All the time.
A E B A
All the time, every day, every day-----.
E
Aw, hey hey hey hey.
Dbm A E
[Q] And, considering all this, and agreeing that it's true,
Dbm A E
is it harder each time just to feel something new?
Dbm A B
But do you sometimes wish not to feel anymore? Wall it off? To make it all go away? To just put it to an end?
A E B E
[A] No question. Any day. All the way, every time.
(Any day) (All the time) (Every day) (All the way)
A E B
Any day. Any time. All the way. I said
(Any time) (Every day)
A E B E
[Q] when you pray for grace to come, were you born yesterday? Are you dumb??
(all the day and all the night) (all the way) (every time)
A E B A
Are you insane??? Don't be ashamed; I'm the same----.
(all the pain) (every day) (all the same)
E B
Yeah, I'm that way.
A E B
But I try.
A E B
Everyday,
A E
and all the time.
