take it from day to day stan rogers album : from coffee house to concert hall ( 2000 ) Verse 1 : G C D G well , it’s not the hours of watch - on - watch , G C D Em and it’s not the work that i mind so much , G C or the long cold miles from my lover’s touch , G Am D ’though for sure she’s far away . G C D G no stranger , i , to the touch of steel , G C D Em or the honest fear any man can feel , G C but i long for dust under my heels G Am and a pocket full of pay C G D G so i’ll take it from day to day . Verse 2 : G C D G the pack - ice ’round us cracks and groans; G C D Em the old st . roch , she creaks and moans . G C the icy fog is in my bones , G Am D and the ache won’t go away . G C D G outside i bet it’s warm and fair . G C D Em i could have her fingers in my hair , G C but it’s long , cold miles to her out there G Am so i guess i’ll have to stay C G D G and just take it from day to day! Chorus : D G C we’re as far north now as i want to come , C G but larsen’s got us under his thumb , D G C and i signed up for the whole damned run , Am D i can’t get off half way . G C D G but when i get back unto the shore , G C D Em i’m going south where it stays warm , G C and there’ll be someone on my arm G Am to help me spend my pay , C G D G so i’ll take it from day to day .
