Intro
Bm
Verse 1
Bm
To- -day is the day
G
That I drop my defense
A
And my ignorance
Bm
To say no way
G
Can I let you do this to me
A
Just be- -cause we have no symmetry
Bm A G
This can- -not be what we wanted it to be
Between Verses
Bm A G
F# A G
Verse 2
Bm
To- -day is the day
G
Where I take it all back
A
And I let it all stack
Bm
Up a- -gain. Don't pretend
G
That it won't come back and bite me
A
And get too big to fight me
Bm A G
This can- -not be what we wanted it to be
Between Verses
Bm A G
F# A G
Chorus 1
Bm
There's not enough
G
Con- -nection here for anything
A
To be passed on, for both to meet
Bm
Our hands together in defeat
F#
Or just compassion to concede to
Bm
What is right or wrong or who
A
Can get the better of the two
Bm A G
Or even who knows what these words mean
Verse 3
Bm
To- -day is the day
G
That I scream out my soul
A
And my heart beats a whole
Bm
New beat. We meet,
G
But you don't seem to hear me
A
Screaming and pounding
Bm A G
Nothing has changed, I can see
Between Verses
Bm A G
F# A G
Chorus 2
Bm
I can't see straight
G
I can feel my soul when it starts to shake
A
I can feel my heart not beat, but quake
Bm
The world is all behind you like
F#
You never knew it passed you by
Bm
Changing was too much for me
A
To ever hope I'd ever see
Bm A G
It's not like death can ever come to life
Between Verses
Bm A G
F# A G
Verse 4
Bm
Today is the day
G
My heart hits my gut
A
And digs in a rut
Bm
And stops and hopes
G
That someday hope will lead to more
A
Than disappointment in the score of
Bm A G
Everything that ever failed before.
Coda
Bm A G
Today
F# A G
Is the day
