INTRO: Am

                                         G
The rain's too hard, the streams are too high
         Am                     G
Too many people, barely getting by
                 F                      G
Some haven't yet paid for last winter's heat
              Am           G          Am
Labour Day is done and the ends don't meet



Wise men say temperature's rising
                  G           Am
And there's more water in the air

It comes down with a vengeance
                G      Am
Which no memory can compare


CHORUS:
       C      G    Am
We are low in expectations
             F             G     Am
But a body's belt can only go so tight

'Til it interferes with the circulation
        G                   F
And you will, with all your might
          G             Am
Dawn into day, day into night


                                    G
The sun's too bright, the light too white
          Am               G
Some days I can't sleep at night
                 F                   G
Changes come too fast and leaves you slow
       Am       G      Am
Reason overcome by the show



So we don't talk about the weather
         G           Am
Quite as often as we did

Conversations go to children
       G                   F
Voices low, our fears well hid
         G                              Am
We don't talk about the weather like we did


CHORUS:
      C      G    Am
Being low in expectations
             F             G     Am
But a body's belt can only go so tight

'Til it interferes with the circulation
        G                  F
And you will, and all your might
          G             Am
Dawn into day, day into night


             F         G        Am
We build our hopes up along the way
         G                 Am
Day into night, night into day
             F         G        Am
We build our hopes up along the way
         G                 Am
Day into night, night into day
         G                 Am
Day into night, night into day
