G   Em   C   D

[Verse]
G
Everyday moves from a blessing to a curse
Em
Pull out of the driveway slip it in reverse
       C
Take a turn for the better, a turn for the worse
           D
And you're stuck out on the interstate again

[Verse]
G
Sit at a desk and watch the clock
Em
Time slows down and grinds to a stop
    C
You wish it was a dream but you know it's not
         D
And it's getting too hard to pretend

[Chorus]
        Em          G        D          G
But you do it every day, you don't know why
    Em       C        D              G
You paint by numbers, pass away your time
                 D        G
Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme
    C                       D          G        D
You do it every day but you don't know why

[Verse]
G
She wakes up to an empty bed
Em
Lies there alone with the thoughts in her head
        C
All the words unspoken, words unsaid
    D
She throws back the covers and heads downstairs

[Verse]
    G
The coffee on the counter is black and cold
Em
Silence breaks, the day unfolds
        C
But you looked in the mirror, be it so old
              D
It's just the things you do to survive

[Chorus]
           Em          G        D          G
'Cause you do it every day and you don't know why
Em            C          D              G
Stepping on a tightrope, walking on the wire
                 D        G
Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme
    C                       D          G
You do it every day but you don't know why

{Lead Break]
G       D   G       D

[Verse]
G
Everyday moves from a blessing to a curse
    Em
But life goes on for better or worse
        C
All the years slip by, the months are a blur
        D
Leaving only enough to remember

[Verse]
       G
So you wonder how it ever got down to this
      Em
There must've been something that you just missed
   C
Or maybe this is all that there really is
       D
Now outside a new day is beginning

[Chorus]
      Em               G           D          G
Well, skip to it every day and you don't know why
    Em        C              D         G
The skeletons rattle and the old bones lie
                 D        G
Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme
        C
Oh, you do it everyday

You do it everyday
                        D         G
Do it every day but you don't know why
