[INTRO]
D A D A


[VERSE 1]
D                               A
  Lift your head up out of your hands, love
D                          A
  I can't take you anywhere
D                                  A
  Sometimes you give me all you've got to give me
D                                      A
  And sometimes you act like you don't care


[CHORUS]
        A
Don't I know
             E            A
The days are only what we make them?
        A7
Don't I know
              E             A
The nights go only where we take them?


[VERSE 2]
D                         A
  You carry all my light about you
D                       A
  Drawing deeply in the air
D                              A
  A choice, a fight, a call, a whisper
D                               A
  You always let me know you're there


[CHORUS]
        A7
Don't I know
             E            A
The days are only what we make them?
        A7
Don't I know
              E             A
The nights go only where we take them?


[VERSE 3]
D                             A
  An arrow pointed deep and directly
D                        A
  Scatters on the silver soul
D                    A
  As if I never even noticed
D                               A
  I could be almost all the way home


[CHORUS]
        A7
Don't I know
             E            A
The days are only what we make them?
        A7
Don't I know
              E             A
The nights go only where we take them?


[BRIDGE]
      D               A
Da da da  da da da da da
      D               A
Da da da  da da da da da
      D               A
Da da da  da da da da da
      D               A
Da da da  da da da da da


[VERSE 4]
D                                           A
  Lift your head up out of your hands, love
D                           A
  I can't take you anywhere
D                                  A
  Sometimes you give me all you've got to give me
D                                      A
  And sometimes you act like you don't care


[CHORUS]
        A7
Don't I know
             E            A
The days are only what we make them?
        A7
Don't I know
              E             A
The nights go only where we take them?
        A7
Don't I know
             E            A
The days are only what we make them?
        A7
Don't I know
              E             A
The nights go only where we take them?
