Middle Of The Morning

[Intro]
E   A E   A E
A E   A E
A E   A E
A E
 
[Chorus 1]
        E    A E      A     E
Well, I tried    to open up my window
     A            E
And let the light come in
       E      A E          A            E
I step outside    in the middle of the morning
             A      E
And in the evening again
         E   A E          A       E
Yes, I tried     to be grateful for my devils
        A       E
And call them by their names
         E     A E           A           E
But, I'm tired      by the middle of the morning
  A       E
I need someone to blame
 
[Verse 1]
              B                   A
I know you're scared of me, I can see it in your face
       E                           C#m
I can feel it in the way you move around this place
               B                   A
I know you're scared of me, I can see it in your smile
         E                                B
Like an unattended child you can't quitе trust
 
[Chorus 2]
         E   A E             A       E
But I'm tired    of steppin' on your shadow
       A     E
And feeling in the way
         E    A E              A       E
Yеs, I'm tired    by the middle of the morning
          A        E
I'm out of shit to say
 
[Verse 2]
         B                      A
I ain't used to this, seein' everybody's hand
       E                                C#m
I was raised to be a strong and silent Southern man
         B                A
I ain't used to this, a thousand days alone
      E                          B
In my bed or in my head or in my phone
 
[Chorus 3]
          E    A E          A       E
Yes, I'm tired     of livin' in the moment
        A             E
And sleeping through the dream
          E   A E               A      E
I step outside    in the middle of the morning
           A             E
And the roses hear the scream

[Verse 3]
               B                   A
I know you're scared of me, so I never get too close
       E                              C#m
I just sit here on the tailgate like a farmhand's ghost
           B                      A
Watch the roses bloom, watch 'em wilt away and die
         E                              B
'till I notice I've been cryin' this whole time
 
[Chorus 1]
        E    A E      A     E
Well, I tried    to open up my window
     A            E
And let the light come in
       E      A E          A            E
I step outside    in the middle of the morning
             A      E
And in the evening again
 
[Outro]
