[Chorus]
       C   F        C
I live one day at a time
        Em  F          G7
I dream one dream at a time
C           F          C          F
Yesterday's dead, and tomorrow is blind
           C   F        C
And I live one day at a time


[Verse 1]
C                       F           C
Bet you're surprised to see me back at home
          Em              F        G7
You don't know how I miss you when you're gone
C                    F
Don't ask how long I plan to stay
C                   F
It never crossed my mind
              C   F        C
'Cause I live one day at a time


[Chorus]
C              F        C
And I live one day at a time
        Em  F          G7
I dream one dream at a time
C           F          C          F
Yesterday's dead, and tomorrow is blind
           C   F        C
And I live one day at a time


[Verse 2]
C                         F              C
There's a swallow flyin' across a cloudy sky
          Em             F      G
Searchin' for a patch of sun so high
      C              F
Don't ask how long I have to follow him
C                  F
Perhaps I won't in time
           C   F        C
But I live one day at a time


[Out-Chorus]
       C   F        C
I live one day at a time
        Em  F          G7
I dream one dream at a time
C           F          C          F
Yesterday's dead, and tomorrow is blind
           C   F        C
And I live one day at a time
               F        C
And I live one day at a time
