A Week From Today

Em D C  D


[Verse 1]
G                         C
Time is a funny thing you know
   D                G             
No matter where you are it comes 
   C
and goes
     D        G        C        G
I've lived my life one day at a time
Em               D            C
Time is all I've had and all I know

[Verse 2]
G                            C
Home is a state of mind it's said
     D           G                
Four walls and a roof inside your 
C
head
   D                  G
To some it might seem strange,
        C               G
but I'm too damn old to change
        Em              D   
Now the warden says the state 
              C
requires my bed

[Chorus]

                G           D  
It's been fifty years since they 
          G
sent me here
      C                  D
I had forty-nine more to go
      G           C
But a week from today
        D         G        C
They'll open this gate for good
         G             C
And I'll have to walk away
         Em        D       G
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could

[Verse 3]
C G                           C
I won't last a day out there alone
     D                 G         
This prison cell's the only home 
C
I've known
    D                 G
The world outside has changed,
        C            G
but the one inside remains
     Em             D            
I'll have to find a way to get back 
C
home

[Chorus]
                G           D  
It's been fifty years since they 
          G

        D         G        C

         G             C
And I'll have to walk away
         Em        D       G
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could
                  C
But a week from today
        D         G        C
They'll open this gate for good
         G             C
And I'll have to walk away
         Em        D       G
