Intro: | | x2 And sometimes, the most beautiful pain in life is the kind you can't disguise or hide. And the hard truth about life. If I'm not Allowed to give up on mine, You are not allowed to not even try. One day at a time, you'll have to remake The same decision as the one I made last night. You and I have already started to die. And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive. And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine. And sometimes, we need to find a Reason for the pain in our own lives. Oh, and Mine was you and I promise this song is a place for the truth. We can’t keep hiding and hurting. I know I’ve tried to. One day at a time, we just might have to remake The decision every day for the rest of life. You and I have already started to die. And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive. And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times But for the record I’ve finally found the reason for mine. And for the record, I'm in California still writing one Day at a time. And for the record, I refuse to be ashamed of all my scars. You and I are both the same.

(electric guitars kick in, palm muted versions of the same chords) If we’re going to die, why not cheat it again tonight? You and I have already started to die. And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive. And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine. | | x2 Solo (with slide): Eb|--|-------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Bb|8/|-17-------17\|-15-----------15\|-13-----------13\|-12---(12\)--8/| Gb|--|-------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Db|--|-------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Ab|--|-------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Eb|--|-------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Eb|----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Bb|-17----------17\|-15-----------15\|-13-----------13\|-12---(12\)----| Gb|----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Db|----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Ab|----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Eb|----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-8------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
