[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G                                  
By tomorrow I bet, I could crawl 
Dsus4/F#
out of bed
      Em7               Dsus4/F#
And I might even open the sheets
        G                       
And the weekend will fly, and 
Dsus4/F#
some friends will drop by
   Em7          Dsus4/F#
And tell me I'll be ok
      G                     
By Tuesday the hurt, won’t keep me 
Dsus4/F#
from work
          Em7           Cadd9
And I'll hide it from everyone
        G               Cadd9 
Sounds easy to do if I just get 
             G
through day one
   G                    Dsus4/F#
In a week or so, all the neighbors 
will know
            Em7                
When they don't see a car 
Dsus4/F#
outside
     G           Dsus4/F#         
By day 17 I won't need a drink, to
  Em7             Dsus4/F#
 help me close my eyes
     G           Dsus4/F#         
By day 28 I go out on a date, and 
  Em7                 Cadd9
she'll think I'm having fun
        G            Cadd9    
Sounds easy to do if I just get 
              G
through day one

[Chorus]
                Em
I can't skip the pain
                G
I can't stop my mind
            Em          D
So i’ll just take, one at a time
    G                Dsus4/F#
It might even be, a year maybe three
            Em7            Cadd9
Before the damage comes undone
          G              Cadd9    
But i’ll get over you if I just 
         G
get through day one


[Verse 2]
    G        Dsus4/F#             
By day 45 I won’t have to drive by
       Em7            Dsus4/F#
 your house on my way home
    G           Dsus4/F#       
But day 92 if I run into you, It 
          Em7                
won't kill me if you’re not 
Dsus4/F#
alone
        G               Dsus4/F#  
By the end of September I bet you 
               Em7                
remember, how hard this first 
Cadd9
night was
            G                 
When it was all I could do to 
Cadd9                   G
try to get through day one


[Chorus]
                Em
I can't skip the pain
                G
I can't stop my mind
              Em             D
So i’ll just take, one at a time
          G                  
It might even be more than a 
Dsus4/F#
year maybe four
            Em7            Cadd9
Before the damage comes undone
          G                   
But i’ll get over you if I can
Cadd9                G
 just get through day one


[Verse 3]
G                            
There come a time when the 
Dsus4/F#                   Em7   
sting of goodbye won’t be hanging
           Dsus4/F#
 in every room
          G
Could be Fall, could be Summer
Dsus4/F#                  Em7    
Don’t know the number, but it 
            Dsus4/F#
can’t come too soon


[Chorus]
                Em
I can't skip the pain
                G
I can't stop my mind
              Em                D
So i’ll just take, one at a time
          G                  
It might even be more than a 
Dsus4/F#
year maybe four
             Em7       Cadd9
Before the damage comes undone
          G              Cadd9    
But i’ll get over you if I can 
         G
just get through day one

     G               Dsus4/F# 
But I see the lesson, call it a 
                Em7          Cadd9
blessing when that day finally comes
               G                   
You’ll just be someone I knew if I 
 Cadd9               G
just get through day one
