Notes: The C Cadd9 combo has two rhythm patterns. One fast and
       one slow. Listen to the song, you'll see what I mean.

C C9 C Am    <--{

[VERSE]

C                C9               C
I wouldn't be so hard to sleep at night
                  C9            Am
If I could make a day without a fight.
C                  C9             C
I really think the world would be impressed
           C9         Am
If it were equally as blessed...

[CHORUS]

Em             G                   Em
Trying just to make it through the day
                 C             Em
Sleeping just to pass the time away,
             G                  Em
I don't even know who to listen to.
               C
What I need is a song to make love to.

[BRIDGE] fast pattern

C C9 C x 3
C C9 C Am

C C9 C x 3
C C9 C Am

[VERSE]

Wasting years at alarming rates,
I can't just leave my life to fate.
If I could just find a new career...
One that involves a little beer.

[CHORUS]

Trying just to make it through the day,
Sleeping just to pass the time away,
I don't even know who to listen to.
What I need is a song to make love to.

[SOLO] same as intro chords

[CHORUS]

Trying just to make it through the day
Sleeping just to pass the time away,
I don't even know who to listen to.
What I need is a song to make love to.

[Play C C9 C Am pattern as done in verses]

Na, na, na, na, na, na...

[CHORUS]

Trying just to make it through the day
Sleeping just to pass the time away,
I don't even know who to listen to.
What I need is a song to make love to.
