verse 1
D
it’s too late to know
G
just what we could have been
D
don’t want to have this conversation
G
ever again
C
when you walk right through my door
C C/B Am
without any warning
Am
please don’t say a word
C C/B G
just thank me in the morning

verse 2
D
you hide sorrow in a smile
G
forever in a little while
D
hide a lock inside a key
G
and you hide your love inside of me
C
but some day you’ll go your way
C C/B Am
and someday i’ll lose mine
Am
it’s hailing and it’s storming
C C/B G
so just thank me in the morning

solo
C
C C/B Am
Am
C C/B G

verse 3
D
now you’re screaming at me
G
gritted teeth and clenched fists
D
how can you stand there and act
G
as though love is not a risk
C
and you and you cry , “i’m not to blame”
C C/B Am
you said , “it’s just the world i was born in”
Am B C
you can’t reach me now
C C/B G
but you can thank me in the morning

Am
please don’t say a word
C C/B G
just thank me in the morning
Am
you can’t reach me now
C C/B G
but you can thank me in the morning
