This Could Be The Day

Lyrics and Chords

C        Bbmaj7          C            Bbmaj7

Hey, this could be the day

Fmaj7                  Dmin9         Fmaj7            Dmin7+5(G bass)

You break the cycle of doubt and fear

C        Bbmaj7          C            Bbmaj7

And take control of your life

Fmaj7                  Dmin9         Fmaj7            Dmin7+5(G bass)

Leave behind your squalid tears

C                       Amin

Over the cranes and steeples

C                       Amin

All the cars and people

Fmaj7         Dmin9

See the sun

Fmaj7                  Dmin7+5(G bass)

Light up the way

C                       Amin

All your wasted feelings

C                       Amin

They have no meaning

Fmaj7         Dmin9

I believe

Fmaj7                  Dmin7+5(G bass)

This could be the day

STRINGS ; C        Bbmaj7          C            Bbmaj7
C        Bbmaj7

If you could see..

C            Bbmaj7

Why must it be..

Fmaj7                  Dmin9          Fmaj7            Dmin7+5(G bass)

You stretch to reach so far beneath you?

C        Bbmaj7          C            Bbmaj7

Useless things fill the hole in your life

Fmaj7         Dmin9

Feed your weakness

Fmaj7                  Dmin7+5(G bass)

Throw them away

C                       Amin

Over the cranes and steeples

C                       Amin

All the cars and people

Fmaj7         Dmin9

See the sun

Fmaj7                  Dmin7+5(G bass)

Light up the way

C                       Amin

All your wasted feelings

C                       Amin

They have no meaning

Fmaj7         Dmin9

How many times have I said these things

Amin

Never really meant them,

Bbmaj7

Tried to let faith foment them?

Fmaj7                  Dmin9          Fmaj7            Dmin7+5(G bass)

But I swear somehow I’ll find a way

Dmin7+5(G bass)

Finally

All the cars and people

Lyrics

Hey, this could be the day
You break the cycle of doubt and fear
And take control of your life
Leave behind your squalid tears

Over the cranes and steeples
All the cars and people
See the sun ?Light up the way
All your wasted feelings
They have no meaning
I believe this could be the day

If you could see..
Why must it be..
You stretch to reach so far beneath you?
Useless things fill the hole in your life
Feed your weakness
Throw them away

Over the cranes and steeples
All the cars and people
See the sun ?Blind to the fray
All your wasted feelings
They have no meaning
I believe this could be the day

How many times have I said these things
Never really meant them,
Tried to let faith foment them?
But I swear somehow I’ll find a way
Finally

Over the cranes and steeples
All the cars and people
See the sun ?Light on the way
All your wasted feelings
They have no meaning
I believe this could be the day
