Hi there. There's already a tab for the lead stuff, but it helps to know the chords of
song too. Like many Carbon Leaf songs, this one has a fairly simple progression. Just
to the CD, play along, and you'll be jamming. Enjoy!

Carbon Leaf – On Any Given Day
Verse 1:
I woke up, broke free, drove a long time, it didn't purge you from my mind
Hang up the halo, maybe you're right… Chalk it up to a starry night
To be set free, to live and learn… Did we pass or fail the term?
You wrote a note with chalk on my door, a message I'd known long before:
On any given day, you'll find me gone
On any given day, you'll find me gone
Verse 2:
Give me your reason, give me your rhyme so I can tempo me to your time
So I can scratch your surface and be a deeper part of the mystery
To be undone, to be alone, to live life in monotone
I reach the beach and try to ignore the warning I'd known long before
On any given day, you’ll find me gone
On any given day, you’ll find me gone
Chorus:
I've been down to the sea… I've been down to the sea
And so all of the lovers will say, “Forever star-crossed will we stay”
Still I can't help feeling cast away on any given day
Still I can't help feeling you'll run away on any given day
Verse 3:
I window shop for you in my mind: a flannel shirt at the five and dime
A leather coat cut big city style, boots from plastic crocodile
A pine cone dipped in glitter glue, a penny 1942
A necklace with a cheap green stone, barefeet, cold sand, chilled to the bone
On any given day you’ll find me gone
On any given day you’ll find me gone
Chorus
Bridge:
My eye on you, my eye on you
My eye on you always…
Chorus (2nd half only)
I lift my hands up, smell to reveal your perfume on the steering wheel
You're next to me asleep and I smile, I think I'll drive on for awhile
On any given day you’ll find me gone…
