C         C/E  F        D/F#
I've been livin for the moment
       C/G        E/G#   Am G6sus4
But I just can't get my way
D9/F#      F      C/E     Am
And I'm afraid to go to sleep
      F/D C/E  F  D/F# G F C
Cause tomorrow is today

People tell me life is sweeter
But I don't hear what they say
Nothing comes to change my life
So tomorrow is today

Chorus:
Fmaj7    G      Fma7/A   G/B
I don't care to know the hour
            C G/B  Am  Am/G
Cause it's passing anyway
Fmaj7    G      Fma7/A   G/B
I don't have to see tomorrow
         C  G/B Am
Cause I saw it yesterday

So I listen for an answer
But the feeling seems to stay
And what's the use of always dreaming
If tomorrow is today

Still I'm waiting for the morning
But it feels so far away
And you don't need the love I'm giving
So tomorrow is today

G       F
Oh my, goin' to the river
C                         A#
Gonna take a ride and the lord
        F
will deliver me

G             F
Make my bed, I'm gonna lie in it
 C                           A#
If you don't come, I'm sure gonna
   F
die in it

G          F
Too late, too much givin'
C
I've seen a lot of life and I'm
A#            F
damn sick of livin' it
G                   F        C
I keep hopin' that you will pass
      C D
my way
G
And some day if your dreams are
D
leavin' you
G     G+     Gdim     G7
I'll still believe in you

Chorus

Though I'm living and I'm singing
And although my hands still play
Soon enough it will all be over because
Tomorrow is today
