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