Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][D][G]
[Am][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]All the king[Em]s and queens
[D]in the Bi [G]ble
[Am]They could[Em] not turn back time[D]
[Am]So what [Em]chance have I
[D]Of a mir[G]acle
[Am]In this [Em]life of mine[D]?

[Chorus 1]
I only want [C]one [D]day
To unsay the things [G]I s[D]aid
Un[Em]do the thing I did
[C]Twenty four little ho [D]urs
Oh, God, please wipe them all aw[G]ay
And I [Em]promise I will change
[C]If [D]I could start today again
[G][G/F#][Em][C][D]

[Verse 2]
[Am]I know I'm not t[Em]he milk and h[D]oney kind[G]
[Am]Today [Em]I proved it tr[D]ue
[Am]Whe the red [Em]mist falls
[D]around my [G]eyes
[Am]I know[Em] not what I do[D]

[Chorus 2]
Please give me back to[C]day[D]
And I won't say the things [G]I s[D]aid
Or [Em]do that thing I did
[C]Every minute every hou[D]r
The replays just [G]the same
And [Em]I can't stand the shame
[C]Let[D] me start today again

[Solo 1]
[G][Em][C][D]
[G][Em][C][D]

[Chorus 3]
They only want [C]one [D]day
One lousy day, [G]that's [D]all
Of every [Em]day that's been before
[C]Since time began[D]
I know my prayer's [G]in vain
But for a [Em]second I'll pretend
[C]Tha[D]t I can start today again[G][C][G]
