[Pre Chorus]
Am           G                     Am
Some days I just don’t worry
F
I let it pour through me
Am           G           Am
Some days I need to bury

The very depths of me
Am                                         G
So I wait out here to the east of Eden

I let salvation be

[Chorus]
C                               F
I was waiting, I was watching

When I felt that hope and a lucky card

Were all I had to walk with me
F
Had to walk with me

[Verse 2]
Am                               G
I watch the way the crow flies
F
And though it all seems so easy
Am                                         G
But if I see it in a grey sky
F
Can I be sure about the way it leaves me

[Pre Chorus]
Am                     G           Am
Some days I just don’t worry
F
I let it pour through me
Am           G           Am
Some days I call upon

The very depths of me
Am                                         G
So I wait out here to the east of Eden
F
I watch your soul run free

Were all I had to walk with me

I was waiting, I was watching

[Bridge]
Am
Some days will stay a thousand years
G
Some pass like the flash of a spark
Am                                         F
Who knows where all our days go?
Am
Out here we lie together
G
Outside the thunder gathers
Am                               F
Why care about the weather
Am
It always ends in dark

[Verse 3]
Am                               G
I looked west in search of freedom
F
And I saw slavery
Am                                         G
I looked east in search of answers
F
And I saw misery

[Pre Chorus]
Am           G                     Am
Some days I just don’t worry
F
I let it pour through me
Am           G            Am
Some days I walk into
F
The very depths of me
Am                                         G
So I wait out here to the east of Eden
F
I let my conscience be

[Chorus]
C                                 F
I was waiting, I was watching
Am                                         G
Would it ever be there for me?
C                                                 F
When I felt that hope and a lucky card

Were all I had to walk with me
