[Verse 1]
  G                    C
Spent so many seasons lost
           G
inside my mind
 C              G
Lost inside my mind
         G
Like a message in a bottle
           C            G
I thought nobody would find
      C            G
That nobody would find

[Pre-Chorus]
            C
I've been drifting,
            G
I’ve been dreaming
         D             Em
I would land upon the shore
      C           G
To a haven, to a harbor
    D            D7
It felt so far before

[Chorus]
       G    D   Em   Bm
Well, today,  today
      C           D
What felt so far away
                Em
feels a little closer
     G    D   Em   Bm   C
For today,  today,    today
D                 G    C  G  C  G
 Feels a little closer

[Verse 2]
 G
How long these days of darkness
        C           G
At the bottom of a well?
      C            G
That old familiar well
          G
Sittin' heavy with these secrets
      C         G     C         G
With nobody to tell, nobody to tell

       C                  G
High above the streak of sunlight
       D                Em
And a wall too tall to climb
          C               G
All the reaching all the wanting
         D
Just to tumblе every time

[Chorus]
      G    D   Em   Bm
But, today,  today
      C           D
What felt so far away
                Em
feels a little closer
     G    D   Em   Bm   C
For today,  today,    today
D                 G
 Feels a little closer
