Mark Erelli - Do it everyday

^GEveryday moves from a blessing to a curse ^EmPull out of the driveway slip it in reverse Take a ^Cturn for the better, a turn for the worse And you're ^Dstuck out on the interstate again

^GSit at a desk and watch the clock ^EmTime slows down and grinds to a stop You ^Cwish it was a dream but you know it's not And it's ^Dgetting too hard to pretend

But you ^Emdo it every ^Gday, you ^Ddon't know ^Gwhy You ^Empaint by ^Cnumbers, ^Dpass away your ^Gtime Ain't no reason, ^Dain't no ^Grhyme You ^Cdo it every day but you ^Ddon't know ^Gwhy ^D

^GShe wakes up to an empty bed ^EmLies there alone with the thoughts in her head All the ^Cwords unspoken, words unsaid She ^Dthrows back the covers and heads downstairs

The ^Gcoffee on the counter is black and cold ^EmSilence breaks, the day unfolds But you ^Clooked in the mirror, be it so old It's just the ^Dthings you do to survive

'Cause you ^Emdo it every ^Gday and y^Dou don't kn^Gow why ^EmStepping on a ^Ctightrope, ^Dwalking on the ^Gwire Ain't no reason, ^Dain't no ^Grhyme You ^Cdo it every day but you ^Ddon't know ^Gwhy

^GEveryday moves from a blessing to a curse But ^Emlife goes on for better or worse All the ^Cyears slip by, the months are a blur Leaving ^Donly enough to remember

So you ^Gwonder how it ever got down to this There ^Emmust've been something that you just missed Or ^Cmaybe this is all that there really is Now out^Dside a new day is beginning

Well, ^Emskip to it every ^Gday and you ^Ddon't know ^Gwhy The ^Emskeletons ^Crattle and the ^Dold bones ^Glie Ain't no reason, ^Dain't no ^Grhyme Oh, you ^Cdo it everyday

Do it every day but you ^Ddon't know^G why
