I Have Today

Verse 1
Am
Gazing through reflections
Am
Musty curtains, look beside the
Am
Wilted branches, drooping gently
 E                                 Am    E
Brush the doorstep, with despair

Sunkin in this overstuffed
Am
Woven fabric, looking up
Am 
Stalactite with a cobweb
E
Floating in the air, who cares 
Chorus
F
I have today
C
To live or waste away
F                                         Am
Stuck in routines that don't matter  
F
Make it through this moment
C
Fight my inner torment
E                Am      E
I'm okay, I have today  
Verse 3
Am
Holding glossy, people posing
Am
Eyes with smiles, look down to the
Am
Random moments, memories
E                              Am      E   
Caught in time, lives intertwine  
Verse 4
Am
Eyes downcast, shoulders drawn
Am
Numbness filled, detached unnoticed
Am
Grind mechanically
E                         Am    E
Losing my mind, to survive  

Chorus

Bridge
F            C
Breathe, be present
G                            Am
Hope to find new ways 
F            C
Please, be patient
E                                    Am     E
There's time for me, I have today
E                                    Am     E
There's time for me, I have today  
Chorus
Repeat last line and fade
