	        Intro: 
|   Em7   |   G   |   Cadd9   |   G   |  x2 

Em7                   Cadd9    G                                        
      And sometimes,                 the most beautiful  
Em7                     Cadd9    G                             Em7 
pain in life is the kind       you can't disguise or hide. 
Em7                      Cadd9         G 
And the hard truth about life.             If I'm not 
Em7      
Allowed to give up on mine, 
Cadd9           G                    Cadd9       G 
You are not allowed to not even try.  
                
        Em7          D/F#          Cadd9 
One day at a time,          you'll have to remake 
    G                    D/F# 
The same decision as the one I made last night. 

Em7     G        Cadd9            G 
You and I have already started to die. 
Em7               G                 Cadd9            G 
And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive. 
Em7        G         Cadd9              G 
And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times 
Em7         G           Cadd9                G           
But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine.  

Em7                  Cadd9   G 
      And sometimes,              we need to find a 
Em7                                   Cadd9   G 
Reason for the pain in our own lives.             Oh, and 
Em7                Cadd9                  G   
Mine was you and I promise this song is a place for the truth.  
Em7                       Cadd9           G             Cadd9 
 We can’t keep hiding and hurting. I know I’ve tried to.  

    G        Em7      D/F#                Cadd9 
One day at a time,          we just might have to remake 
     G       D/F# 
The decision every day for the rest of life. 

Em7     G       Cadd9             G 
You and I have already started to die. 
Em7              G                  Cadd9            G 
And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive. 
Em7        G        Cadd9               G 
And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times 
Em7        G           Cadd9              G                Cmaj7 
But for the record I’ve finally found the reason for mine.  

            Em      D/F#          C 
And for the record,        I'm in California still writing one  
Em       D/F#       C 
Day at a time.           And for the record,  
Em           D/F#            C 
        I refuse to be ashamed of all my scars.  
Em            D/F# 
You and I are both the same.

(continue finger-picking in the same pattern) Em7 G C We've already cheated death so many times.
