[Intro]
Am  C  G  Am  Am  Em  Am


[Verse 1]
Am        C        G  Am
We drift along down rivers
Am                   Em      Am
Past the towns where we were born
Am          C          G     Am
Past broken smokestack factories
Am            Em         Am
graveyards of lost loved ones
Dm                    Am
We cast our dreams on waters dark
C               G      Am
  We watch them drift away
Dm                 Am
  We turn our eyes heavenward
       C       G       Am
But we feel no need to pray


[Chorus]
          F6/9     Am
It's that day upon day
G          Am
Trial upon trial
F6/9        Am
Wished upon walked upon
G                   F
Smile we smile each day
N.C.
It's gonna chase this dark away

[Verse 2]
Am           C        G          Am
This life is short and aren't we deviled
   Am       Em      Am
by all that we've become
Am       C    G      Am
The inventory of our sins
    Am        Em       Am
has struck us deaf and dumb
Dm                  Am
The stories we once lived to tell
     C          G     Am
Have long since faded gray
Dm                Am
  And know not of heavens grace
     C     G       Am
What piper must we pay


[Chorus]
          F6/9     Am
It's that day upon day
G          Am
Trial upon trial
F6/9        Am
Wished upon walked upon
G                   F
Smile we smile each day
N.C.
It's gonna chase this dark away


[Interlude]
Am  C G  Am             Am  Em  Am
         Chase the dark away
Am C  G  Am
Am Em Am G Am

[Verse 3]
Am         C           G       Am
The fallen leaves might tell a tale
   Am     Em       Am
Of harder times to come
Am         C      G      Am
But let us not surrender to
    Am        Em      Am
Our fears and turn to run
Dm                       Am
Our dreams will rise up above this earth
   C      G        Am
To mingle with the stars
       Dm              Am
Then return as healing summer rain
  C             G       Am
A balm to these ancient scars


[Chorus]
          F6/9     Am
It's that day upon day
G          Am
Trial upon trial
F6/9        Am
Wished upon walked upon
G                   F
Smile we smile each day
          G                   F
Yeah that smile we smile each day
        G                   F
Oh that smile we smile each day
N.C.
Gonna chase this dark away
