| How many days in a year |
| D | A | |
| She | woke up with hope but she | only found tears |
| F#m | Gadd9 | |
| And | I can be so in | sincere |
| D | A |
| Making the promises | never for real |
| F#m | Gadd9 | |
| As | long as she stands there waiting |
| D | A |
| Wearin’ the holes in the | soles of her shoes |
| F#m | Gadd9 |
| How many days disappear |
| D | A | |
| When you | look in the mirror, so | how do you choose |

| Your | clothes never wear as | well the next day |
| D | E7sus4 | |
| And your | hair never falls in | quite the same way |
| Bm7 | Asus4/C# | E7sus4 | |
| And | you never seem to | run out of things to | say |

| D | A |
| Watching our mouths for the | words that we say |

| As | long as we stand here | waiting |
| D | A |
| Wearing the clothes of the | souls that we choose |
