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