        D                            A 
I could really use a win today with everything that's going on, 
   G                           D               A 
It can be something simple, it doesn't need to be a big one 
     D                                     A 
It's hard to keep your spirit up and carry on amid the stress

When you need some motivation but the world is in a mess 
        D                          A 
I could really use a win today to change the course of this week 
    G                                D                  A 
And offer some small interlude while things are seeming bleak 
     D                             A 
It's tough to keep on going and do anything but sit 
            G                                    D                     A 
When you're desperate for a bit of light but the whole world's gone to shit

 D 
Arriving just on time to what I thought I'd be late for 
         A 
A parcel I don't have to sit home for 8 hours to wait for 
  Em 
A decent sandwich filling with the lunchtime meal deal 
           D                      A 
Taking the skin off a potato in a single peel 
  D                                                   A 
A cup of tea I'd left forgotten next to my seat, to discover that it's now the perfect drinkable heat 
  Em 
A green light at the traffic stop as soon as I'm there 
  D                                   A 
A parting that needs no work when I'm styling my hair

G                 A          D 
 When life starts wearing me down 
        A                             D 
A small nudge can be what's needed to turn the day around 
          G             A               D             
Reaching out, trying to see the tiniest piece of positivity 
         Em                                   A 
When you feel like giving up the fight, small victories can bring respite

Opening the microwave before it goes ping 
 A 
Answering the phone after a single ring 
        Em 
Walking onto a bus without having to wait

A decent rest when I've worked for 14 hours straight

Finding out a bill won't be as much as I'd thought 
         A 
Leaving work a little early without getting caught 
Em 
Getting to the pub and being able to sit 
    D                   A 
The positive signs of a healthy shit

I could really use a win todaaaay
