      Gm     D#      A#
Was a cold 3 AM at JFK
             Gm               D#         A#
I guess you stayed cause you wanted to stay
                 Gm      D#         A#
And we went from zero to everything all in a day
         Gm      D#        A#
And then Kennedy took you away

                 A#                 F
I thought of a short robe that was keeping you warm
        Gm                         D#
And the moments that make up your life till you wake
up
    A#                     F
You sit on a swing in the dark with a girl
         Gm                      D#
And she tells you she wanted to kiss you

Chorus:
D#
And you know that
    A#                           F
The worst part of a good day is hearing yourself say
    Gm                   D#
Goodbye to one more possibility day
        Gm A# D#maj7 A#
It goes on
     Gm A# D#maj7
And on...

I go west but your weather has changed
You’re just scared
I mistake it for strange
When you want me to leave
Then you start to believe I should stay
But I gotta get out of LA

It seems like the short days are over
'Cause you just don't sleep in
the daylight so I don't sit up nights
I lie on my back on the top of a hill
And your body is breaking the sky
Cause you're shaking

Chorus:
And the worst part of a good day is
knowing it's slipping away
That's one more possibility day that is gone

We were waiting for winter this year
But you came and it never appeared
Me and you, we know too many reasons
For people and seasons that pass like
they weren't even here

Now “Living in smiles is better”, you say
But we carry the burdens of all of our days
So I'm scared that you'll leave and you're
scared that I'll stay
It's an impossibility day
And we only saw half the ballet

I said goodnight, goodbye
It seems like a good thing so you
know it’s a good lie
You can run out of choices
And still hear a voice in your head
when you're lying in bed

And it says that the best part of a
bad day is knowing it's okay
The color of everything changes
The sky rearranges its shade and your
smile doesn't fade
Into a phone call and one bad decision we made

Chorus:
And the worst part of a good day is
the one thing you don't say
And you don't know how but you wish
there was some way
So you pull down the shades and you
shut off the lights
Because somehow we mixed up "Goodbye"
and "Goodnight"
And the one thing you won't say is

"Everyone knows possibility days are impossible."
It just feels wrong
So wrong
Still you're gone
Long gone
