Long Day
[Verse 1]
It's sitting by the overcoat
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also reach, she said, for no one else but you
'Cause you won't turn away
When someone else is gone

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, hey, it's me
Yeah, well, I can't get myself to go away
Hey, well, it's me
And I can't get myself to go away
Oh, God, I shouldn't feel this way, now
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me

[Chorus]
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right?
Oh no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right?
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm surprised if you believe
In anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so set in life, man, a pisser they're waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what? So long

[Pre-Chorus]
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me

[Chorus]
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right?
Oh no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right?
Oh, ain't that right?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
It's me
Yeah, well, I can't get myself to go away
Hey, well, it's me
Yeah, well, I can't get myself to go away
Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way now
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
[Chorus]
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right?
And no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right?
Right, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Reach down your hand in your pocket, well
Reach down your hand right now

[Chorus]
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right

[Pre-Chorus]
Reach down your hand in your pocket, well
Reach down your hand right now

[Chorus]
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
Oh, ain't that right
[Outro]
Well, ain't that right, oh, right, right
Oh, child
Right, oh, right, right, oh, right, right
Oh, child
Oh, child
So come on
