[Intro]
E   A E   A E
A E   A E
A E   A E
A E

[Chorus 1]
        E    A E   
Well, I tried    to
   A     E
 open up my window
     A            E
And let the light come in
       E      A E       
I step outside    in the
   A            E
 middle of the morning
             A      E
And in the evening again
         E   A E      
Yes, I tried     to be 
    A       E
grateful for my devils
        A       E
And call them by their names
         E     A E 
But, I\'m tired      
          A           E
by the middle of the morning
  A       E
I need someone to blame

[Verse 1]
              B          
I know you\'re scared of me, 
         A
I can see it in your face
       E                
I can feel it in the way 
           C#m
you move around this place
               B           
I know you\'re scared of me,
        A
 I can see it in your smile
         E              
Like an unattended child 
                  B
you can\'t quitе trust

[Chorus 2]
         E   A E            
But I\'m tired    of steppin\'
 A       E
 on your shadow
       A     E
And feeling in the way
         E    A E   
Yеs, I\'m tired    by 
           A       E
the middle of the morning
          A        E
I\'m out of shit to say

[Verse 2]
         B           
I ain\'t used to this,
           A
 seein\' everybody\'s hand
       E                   
I was raised to be a strong 
             C#m
and silent Southern man
         B                A
I ain\'t used to this, a thousand 
days alone
      E        
In my bed or in 
                  B
my head or in my phone

[Chorus 3]
          E    A E         
Yes, I\'m tired     of livin\'
 A       E
 in the moment
        A             E
And sleeping through the dream
          E   A E       
I step outside    in the
        A      E
 middle of the morning
           A             E
And the roses hear the scream

[Interlude]
F#m  C#m E   B x3
A
E   A E   A E
A E   A E
A E   A E
A E

[Verse 3]
               B          
I know you\'re scared of me, 
         A
so I never get too close
       E              
I just sit here on the 
                C#m
tailgate like a farmhand\'s ghost
           B         
Watch the roses bloom,
             A
 watch \'em wilt away and die
         E              
\'till I notice I\'ve been 
                B
cryin\' this whole time

        E    A E      A 
Well, I tried    to open

up my window
     A            E

       E      A E   
I step outside    in 
       A            E
the middle of the morning
             A      E
And in the evening again
