Mid-Morning Lament

D  Em  G  D  Em7


[Verse]
   D                                Em7                            D        Em7
I hate the morning rain I grab my jacket damn it's looking pretty worn
    D                                    Em7                            D       Em7
I bought a cool new sweater but when I brought it home noticed it was torn
  Dmaj7           Em7                         D       Em7
I wanna spike my coffee but I know where that leads
         D                                 Em7                          D       Em7
And it ain't the safest feeling when the angel on your shoulder falls asleep


[Chorus]
               G                           Bm7          A
'Cause then I let you in 'cause you were crying in the hall
         G                      D            A
Fool me once again wrote your name across the wall
         G           A         Bm7            Asus4
Now the crows are crawling, longing for the magic
        G           D                   A
The happiness you knew when you were a kid
        D          Em7   D        G
So I'm out here drawing on the sidewalk
                        Asus4            D      Em7   D    Em7
While the storm of mid-morning's blowing in


[Verse]
  D                             Em7                             D        Em7
Maria guide me by the light  of all the stars I used to know by name
          D                              Em7                                D      Em7
And if a one man war's a cosmic joke I guess I'll have to laugh at all the pain
       Dmaj7              Em7                     D      Em7
And so what, I spike my coffee maybe I'll never learn
       D                            Em7                     D         Em7
And I must admit the devil on my shoulder is a master of her words


[Chorus]
               G                            Bm7         A
'Cause then I let you in 'cause you were crying in the hall
         G                     D           A
Fool me once again wrote your name on every wall
          G          A         Bm7            Asus4
Now the crows are crawling, longing for the magic
        G           D                   A
The happiness you knew when you were a kid
        D          Em7    D      G
So I'm up here strumming on the rooftop
                         Asus4            D     Em7   D     Em7
While the black of mid-morning's flooding in


[Outro]
       Bm               A            G                  D
'Cause all I want is something to believe in more than nothing
        Bm              A             G           D
and I guess that's all I'm asking from anything at all
    Bm          A             G        D                       A
I don't wanna be the kind who's tangled up all the time in their dreaming
                 G        D     A
And what's the point of being needed?
       D          Em7  D         G
So I'm out here taking on the bad guys
                      Asus4                D
While the fear of mid-morning's sinking in
