Streetlight Manifesto - Your Day Will Come

capo on ii fret

Cm G# D#
a young lady leaves her mother
A#
with no one to love her
G# D#
to protect her from the world

Cm G# D#
and i have seen the monsters
A#
that will haunt her
G# D#
that will tear her all apart

Cm A# D# G#
and at her gravestone we will remember
Cm A# D# G#
just where we were when you knew she would go
Cm A# D# G#
and i still remember that day that we left her
Cm A# G# G#m
thats when she said that she knows how it goes

and we sang :
G# Cm
“your day will come
G# Cm
your day will come
G# Cm G
your day will come”

G# Cm G
and no matter what they say
G# Cm F
it won’t matter if you pray or if you sin
G# Cm
’cause in the end its all the same

Cm G# D#
a young man becomes a soldier
A# G# D#
hes isnt much older than a boy and thats a shame
Cm G# D#
they will lead him into battle
A# G# D#
hand him medals when he comes home rearranged

Cm A#
and at the say – so
D# G#
of a man with a halo
Cm A# D# G#
he will obey; he will fall into place
Cm A# D# G#
remembered by ribbons but never forgiven
Cm A# G#
he’ll shoulder the bulk of the blame
G#m
what a shame

and well sing

G# Cm
“your day will come
G# Cm
your day will come
G# Cm G
your day will come”

G# Cm G
and no matter what they say
G# Cm F
it won’t matter if you pray or if you sin
G# Cm
’cause in the end its all the same

Cm G# D#
if i only had a dollar
A# G# D#
for every horror that befalls my fellow man
Cm G# D#
i’d never work another hour
A# G# D#
but i’d grow sour from the guilt and bitterness
Cm A# D# G#
the luck of the draw will determine the fallen
Cm A# D# G#
and everyone else will relax and move on
Cm A# D# G#
but what will you do when they come looking for you friend?
Cm A# G#
i hope that youre brave and you’re strong
G#m
through it all

G# Cm
“your day will come
G# Cm
your day will come
G# Cm G
your day will come”

G# Cm G
and no matter what they say
G# Cm F
it won’t matter if you pray or if you sin
G# Cm
’cause in the end its all the same
