C#        B        C#
Some days are dry, some days are leaky
C#         B          C#
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
G#m                            B
Some days take less, but most days take more
      C#           B               C#
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor

Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Chorus:
     F#      B
Some days it all adds up
C#            B      C#
And what you got is not enough
      F#       B
Some days are better than others

Some days are slippy, other days are sloppy;
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white, but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others
Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin;
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in

Chorus:
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Some days are honest, some days are not;
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy

Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and his mother
Some days are better than others

Chorus:
Some days you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others

Some days I hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
