D C G D

Lately I’ve been thinking, thinking bout my life

D C G D

And lately I’ve been hurtin, and it cuts me like a knife

D C D G

And lately I’ve been feelin, feelin sad and blue

D C G D

And lately I’ve been hopin, hopin dreams come true

(chorus)

G A D G

Is it a matter of time before my thoughts run wild

G A D G

And is it a matter of time before my well runs dry

D C G

Now I can only look beyond the open skies (repeat last line 2x)

(Verse 2)

Lately I’ve been wondrin if things’ll go my way

I have to know these answers for I face another day

Lately it’s been so hard to come up with a clue

My soul is slowly dyin with the heart I gave to you

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)

C G C G

you said a lot of things, and I believed in you

C G C G

I paid a heavy price for a love I thought was true

C G C G

I guess I’ll just go on, well what else can I do

C G A C G

But the pain still lingers on cuz I can’t be with you

(verse3)

Lately I’ve been clingin, clingin to the past

And lately I’ve been watchin my life go by so fast

Lately I keep dreamin that you’re comin home

But I wake up every morning to find I’m still alone (repeat chorus)
