[Intro]
|FM7    |G6     |FM7    |G6  G6*|
                  Ooh
 
[Verse 1] 0:10
                        FM7                            Em7
I've been collecting my habits, going strain to strain....
                G6         FM7                           Em7
And you're just letting it roll off in your precious way..,,
                      Dm7                         Em7
I guess I'd rather be honest, call it by its name....
                       F                              Em7
I'm over here thinking why we've gotta name and shame.....
 
[Refrain] 0:32
Am/G               CM7
Grains in the hour-glass
               Am/G                G6
Gonna keep you walking in a desert land
                    Dm7                   Em7
If there's a way to make it with a steady hand
         Em7/F#  Dm7                         G6  Em7 Em7/A
Then I'd like to try it if you think that we can
 
[Chorus] 0:54
Am/G      Am                      Em7
Shh   Sometimes we're gonna disagree
          Em                     FM7/A
But don't let it stop you loving me
FM7/A                            Em7  G6  A7
When the scale is on the tipping edge
Dm7                            Em7
   Hard times will never stay away
           Em/B          Dm7
Let's just worry about today
                              Em7/F#   Em7  Em7*
Well, I'm bound to do it all again....
 
[Verse 2] 1:16
Em7/A              Am/C                     G6    Em7
In a world full of critics, you are mine to find
Em7/A                    Am/C              Em7
It's only fair we get to enjoy each others prime
Em7/A        Dm7                           Em7
When all the chaos and madness finally sub-sides
                    G6
Were we laughing or crying
Em7                     G      G*
I know at least we were trying
 
[Chorus] 1:39
Am/G                             Em7
Shh   Sometimes we're gonna disagree
          G6                     FM7/A
But don't let it stop you loving me
FM7                              G6   A7
When the scale is on the tipping edge
Dm7                         Em7/F#
Hard times will never stay away
                         Dm7
Let's just worry about today
                              Em7   G6  Em7/A
Well, I'm bound to do it all again, gain, gain
 
[Bridge] 2:01

                CM7
Yeah, yeah yeah-yeahhh, yeah, yeah-yeah
Em7/A       FM7/E     Em7/F#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
