Morning Is Broken chords by Lloyd Cole

Verse 1:

E
You used to be mean

A
You used to be cruel

E
But you were laughing then

A
And it was no accident

E
Where did the mean man go

A
Is he chasing his shadow?

E
Is he unhappy to report

A
That the gentleman he found is a terrible bore?


E
You know it all

A
You've got all the answers

E
But if that's the case

            A
What's with the long face?

Pre Chorus:


A
It's very easy to be brave

With your good foot in the grave

E
It's very easy to be cold

E                                           A
When there's no one in the world you want to know

A                        E
It's very easy to be suave

A
When you're on your guard

A
Like you always are

Chorus:


E                   A                   E
The sun goes down and now the shadows arise

E                   A                   E
The morning is broken as you mourn your life

 E                  A                    E
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors

 E                   A                    E
You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore ?

Verse 2:


E
Is it hard to let go

A
At the foot of the rainbow

E
Just to be informed

A
That the chase was your reward?

E
Here, have a crock of gold

A
Keep it for when you're old

E
Like a week on Tuesday

A
Hey, wise men say

Pre Chorus:


A
It's very easy to be brave

With your good foot in the grave

E
It's very easy to be cold

E                                           A
When there's no one in the world you want to know

A                        E
It's very easy to be suave

A
When you're on your guard

A
Like you always are

Chorus:


E                   A                   E
The sun goes down and now the shadows arise

E                   A                   E
The morning is broken as you mourn your life

 E                  A                    E
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors

 E                   A                    E
You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore ?

            E
Put me in the ground

A                         E
Come on and Put me in the ground

E                   A                                  E
The sun goes down and now the shadows (put me in the ground) arise

E                   A                                       E

 E                  A                    E
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors (cmon and put me in the ground)

 E                   A                    E
You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore ?
