Opening Up (From Waitress The Musical)

The day starts like the rest we’ve seen, an oth er (D)car bon cop y of an old rou tine.

(Bm)Days keep com in’, one out, one in, they keep (Gsus2)com in’.

I don’t know what I wish I had, but there’s (D)no time now for think in’ things like that.

We’ve got (Am)too much to do.

(Too much to do.) We’ve got (G)too much to do.

(Too much to do.)

(D)O pen ing up,

let tin’ the day

in.

(D)O ver a cup

we’ll say,

“Hel lo,

how ya been?” Look in’ a round,

see in’ the same

things,

it’s (D)com fort ing how

some things

nev er change,

nev er change,

nev er change,

do they?

I would n’t call this place a hap py end, but I’ve been ’round the block and just came back a gain.

(Bm)Could be worse so make it work, no place is per (G)fect.

Hey,

I’m no good in the out side world, be cause I (F#m7)feel too much and find it u sual ly hurts.

(Am)I like the way most of the days look ex (G)act ly the same.

(D)O pen ing up,

ev er y day

starts

(D)o ver a cup

served with,

“Hel lo,

how ya been?” (D)Wel come it in

what ev er the day

brings.

(D)More of the same things.

Check the clock, tick, tick, tock, don’t stop, serve with a smile.

Hur ry up, fill the cof (D)fee cup, and then in a while,

take a breath when you need to be re mind ed that with (G)days

(E)like

(A)these,

we can (F#)on ly do the (Bm)best we can.

And (Gm)do it all a gain.

It’s the (D)heart beat,

the (F#m7)cen ter,

the (Bm)life line

you (G)en ter.
