Intro
Em (h/o A and D stings on 2nd fret)
[Verse 1]
Em Am Em
It is five in the morning and the wind outside is pouring with my shelter
Em
Let's take all their serparate ways
Am Em
How the long desperate days of summer swelter
Em
And at five the day is shaping up
Am Em
My lover lays their naked butt for sleep
Em
When she wakes she'll say I done her wrong
Am Em
We haven't fucked or sung a song in weeks
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
But there are reasons why I left you
Am Em
There are reasons why the sun begins to set
G C G B
And I will add them to the ever, ever, ever growing list of my regrets
[Chorus]
Em Am
I am older by the window, I am drunk all by myself
Em Am
I am fearful of the morning just unbuckling my belt
Em Am
My youth is disappearing it was gone when it began
Em
I am the happy argue humble hero
C Em
King of happenstance
[Verse 2]
Em
I remember how the night is dressed
Am Em
And played with every righteous breath I fake
Em Am
But if it finds a place to hide I'll throw my hand grenades inside and wait
Em
Oh I wait here with the rotten eggs
Am Em
Those broken brandy bottles drinks for time
Em Am Em
They come in with their grains of salt and put their famous flame to fall to mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
But there are reasons why I left you
Am Em
There are reasons why the sun begins to set
G C G B
And I will add them to the ever, ever, ever growing list of my regrets
[Chorus]
Em Am
I am older by the window, I am drunk all by myself
Em Am
I am fearful of the morning just unbuckling my belt
Em Am
My youth is disappearing it was gone when it began
Em
I am the happy argue humble hero
C Em
King of happenstance
