One Day at a Time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][Bm][A]
[G]Wid[D]e-eyed and and twenty-one,
'nother [Bm]'nother shot of Jameson
[A]To calm my nerves before this nightly
masquer[G]ade
[D]What people saw as nonchalant,
a com[Bm]plex conditioned response
[A]A chemical reaction,
[G]brown liquor and self-doubt
So So that I [D]can stand up on

[Verse 2]
this stage
like a guilty [Bm]child avoidin' blame
I'd [A]kick, I'd scream, I'd curse the names
[G]of the girls who walked away
You see the man [D]left holdin' the pen
controls [Bm]how every story ends
[A]And truth becomes a martyr
[G]for the sake of the song

[Verse 3]
[G]Yeah [A]I'm in a good [D]place
[A]I'm a-walkin' that that
[G]straight line
[Bm]I'm just gettin' along,
rightin' [A]these wrongs
[G]One day at [A]a time[D]
[Bm][A][G]

[Verse 4]
For years [D]the drinks were just a crutch until
[Bm]the drinks were just too much
[A]I guess it comes with the job, [G]hail,
hail, rock'n'roll
You see song[D]s fulfill a human need to sit
[Bm]back and watch another man bleed
[A]So for a moment,
we don't have to feel [G]sorry for ourselves
And this ima[D]ginary confidence be

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
came the first line of defense
[A]If you don't let 'em in, boy,
they'll [G]never let you down
[D]But she broke through and took control,
my sweet[Bm]heart of the rodeo
And for the first [A]time I found somethin' I
[G]couldn't afford to lose
[A]Yeah I'm in a good place

[Verse 6]
[D]
[A]I'm a-walkin' that that
[G]straight line
[Bm]I'm just gettin' along,
rightin' [A]these wrong[G]s
One day at [A]a time[D][Bm]
[A][G]

[Verse 7]
Every [D]now and then I miss [Bm]the way
that highball glass would kiss
[A]My lips like a long-lost love love
[G]welcomin' me home
But I [D]don't miss the highs and lows,
the [Bm]back-and-forth, the the the ebb-and-flow
Of Of [A]Of lettin' down the people
[G]who are standin' up for me

[Verse 8]
Yeah [A]I'm in a good [D]place
[A]I'm a-walkin' that that
[G]straight line
I'm just gettin' [Bm]along,
[A]rightin' these wrong[G]s
One day at [A]a time[D]
I'm just gettin' [Bm]along,
rightin' [A]these wrong[G]s
One day at [A]a time

[Outro 1]
[D]
