Lyrics

Where is the mo ment we need ed the most? You kick up the leaves and the mag ic is lost. They tell me your blue skies fade to grey. They tell me your pas sion’s gone a way and I don’t need no car ryin’ on. You stand in the line just to hit a new low. You’re fak in’ the smile with the cof fee to go. They tell me your life’s been way off line. You’ve fall en to piec es ev ’ry time and I don’t need no car ryin’ on be cause you (CN.C.)had a bad (Eb)day. You’re tak in’ one (Ab)down. You sing a sad (Fm7)song just to turn it a round. You say you don’t (Eb)know. You tell me don’t (Ab)lie. You work at a smile and you go for a ride. You had a bad (Cm)day. The cam ’ra don’t (Gm)lie.
