[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

[Interlude]

[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
