[Intro]
C G C F Am F C x2
[Verse 1]
C G C F
I hate the morning for every possible reason,
Am F Dm7
Except for the chance I get to try again
C G C F
They might say I was betrayed by the kindest season
Am F C
Oh but autumn, I don’t believe a word they’ve said
C C7 F Fm C Am F
Find me, find me, oh I’ll be staring at the stars
E7 Am Gm F
Not trying to name ‘em, not trying to blame ‘em
C G F
Ain’t got no judgment anymore
[Interlude]
C G C F Am F C
ohhh oh oh ohhh oh ohohoh oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
C G C F
When I bleed, I bleed on this highway
Am F Dm7
So darling, you will know that I’ve been here
C G C F
And you can plainly see how I survived
Am F C
So you shouldn’t have any fear
C C7 F Fm C Am F
It’s my blood, it’s the same blood that I spilled for you
E7 Am Gm F
Don’t deny it, it comes from the inside,
C G F
and the inside always tells the truth
[Interlude]
C G C F Am F C
ohhh oh oh ohhh oh ohohoh oh oh oh
C G C F Am F C
ohhh oh oh ohhh oh ohohoh oh oh oh
[Verse 3]
C G C F
I’ve been smoking with my boyfriend, we’ve been talking bout his girlfriend
Am F Dm7
We’ve been saying, love is always touch and go
C G C F
I tell him I miss you, like a little fire
Am F C
Misses warming someone as it tries to grow
C C7 F Fm C Am F
One more time, one more time, rub your face against my face
E7 Am Gm F
Mix our tears, let ‘em smear,
C G F
one last honest exchange
[Outro]
C G C F Am F C
ohhh oh oh ohhh oh ohohoh oh oh oh
C G C F Am F C (slow on last three chords)
ohhh oh oh ohhh oh ohohoh oh oh oh
