[Verse 1]
C Am
Daybreak comes with the devil's hum
G D
A carcass starts to breathe
C Am
Wakes one more time to try and find
G D
A place to count its teeth
C Am
And scrub the cuts from yesterday's
G D
Hot scuffle in the street
C Am
Show me the door
G D
I need somewhere to go
[Chorus 1]
C
Daylight
G
Woke up hurting
D C
With tarmac to my side
G
I woke up with dirty knees
D C
Not for the first time
G
I woke up hurting
D C
Though I can't quite say why
G
I woke up hurting
D G
Woke up hurting
G (x2)
[Verse 2]
C Am
Slug through the day, sneak between
G D
The houses I have made
C Am
And run sacred rivers up my sleeve
G D
Pills by mouth with lemonade
C Am
As the hours slow down, they all clock out
G D
Of the cracked up daily grind
C Am
I'm in a back back street, coming down
G D
I wait for the beam of light
C Am
Show me the door
G D
I need somewhere to go
[Chorus 2]
C
Midnight
G
Woke up hurting
D C
With tarmac to my side
G
I woke up with dirty knees
D C
Not for the first time
G
I woke up hurting
D C
Though I can't quite say why
G D
I woke up hurting
C
If all these southern tales are true
G D
We should pray for abduction, pray it comes soon
C
If all these southern tales are true
G D
Plan for Heaven, or Hell will do
C
If all these southern tales are true
G D
We should pray for abduction, pray it comes soon
C
If all these southern tales are true
G D
Plan for Heaven, or Hell will do
