[Verse]

Bbm               F#
Are you sleeping, I wish I was
Bbm                  Ebm        F#
Are you dreaming, of someone to love
Bbm
Do you know what I'm thinking
      F#
But I guess you don't
Bbm
Cause you'd have to be around
   Ebm     F#
To hear my thoughts

[Chorus]

** the Bb5 and A5 chords are played on both octaves, first low-then-high **

Bb5        F5         D5    E5    A5
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
Bb5                       F5             D5 E5
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Bb5                F5
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
D5      E5       A5
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Bb5     F5       D5  E5
        Somebody Else

[Verse]

Bbm                              F#
It's funny how you destroyed the better part of me
Bbm                             Ebm
There's nothing left so there's nothing anybody can see
Bbm                                              F#
It's been six months now and you think you found everything
Bbm                           Ebm
In a day I wasn't there, in a way you didn't care

[Chorus]

** the Bb5 and A5 chords are played on both octaves, first low-then-high **

Bb5        F5         D5    E5    A5
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
Bb5                       F5             D5 E5
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Bb5                F5
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
D5      E5       A5
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Bb5     F5       D5  E5
        Somebody Else

[Bridge]

Bb5   A5

Bb5                     A5
I didn't settle, I just got lazy
Bb5                         A5
But I could see where you'd make the mistake
Bb5             A5
I didn't try, I just gave up
Bb5                  A5
It was better to leave than stay
Bb5                  A5
It's easy when you're leaving
Bb5                      A5
It's harder when you try to return
Bb5                    A5
But I haven't got that far yet
Bb5
And that's a lesson I never want to learn

[Verse]

Bbm                   F#
I should know better, and so should you
Bbm                                      Ebm
I'm exactly where you left me, there was nothing better to do
Bbm                     F#
Are you still sleeping, are you still dreaming
Bbm                      Ebm
I'm finally leaving, but you're still with me

[Chorus]

** the Bb5 and A5 chords are played on both octaves, first low-then-high **

Bb5        F5         D5    E5    A5
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
Bb5                       F5             D5 E5
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Bb5                F5
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
D5      E5       A5
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Bb5     F5       D5  E5
        Somebody Else
