Verse 1
Em 
Today I woke up
C 
to the man I love asleep in my bed
Em 
The sheets round his shoulder
so it wouldn't be cold
B 
Below, neath his head
Em 
I stared with the eyes
of one sentenced to die at
C 
her last meal
Memorized the lines,
D 
though I'm free and alive
G 
D 
Em 
I'm sure this is how it would feel
C 
D 
The bars of this cage, too much contained
G 
D 
Em 
C 
I can no longer conceal
D 
G 
D 
Em 
Oh, but today is the day I go clear
You drive me to drink,
C 
you drive me to think that I am no good
Em 
And I know that is wrong, like I know that
B 
This song scares you as it should
Like a boat with a hull
Em 
No matter how hard I row
C 
We're going down
D 
Your face to me is the bottomless sea
Em 
Not the harbor that I thought I'd found
C 
D 
So I tread wa ter like mother, like daughter
G 
D 
Em 
As my life erodes to ground
C 
D 
Oooh.
G 
D 
Oh, but today is the day I get
Em 
C 
Em 
C 
B 
out.
Em 
Gravity pulls, thought you said we could
B 
C 
Defy all its laws
B 
And how I  believed,
Em 
B 
Em 
followed where you'd lead,
B 
justifying the cause
Em 
B 
But everything lovely lies,
Em 
B 
C 
everything ugly comes to its  end
D 
Now here we are, on opposite shores
G 
D 
Em 
Both of us, breaking the bed
C 
D 
But on the floor, sleeping under the door
G 
D 
Staining everything red
Em 
C 
The elephant in the room
D 
Is there in plain view
G 
D 
Em 
C 
Why waste the time to pretend?
D 
Ooh
G 
D 
Em 
C 
D 
Oh, but today is the day that it ends
G 
D 
Oh yes, today is the day
Em 
that it ends
Tomorrow you'll wake up,
the man that I love
