Middle Of The Morning chords by Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: E

🎸 Intro:

E   A E



🎸 Chorus 1:
        E
Well
I tried to open up my windows
E
And let the light come in
E
I step outside in the middle of the morning
E

And in the evening again
         E
Yes
I tried to be grateful for my devils
E
Calling by their name
E
But
I'm tired by the middle of the morning
E
And I need someone to blame



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

🎸 Chorus 2:
         E
But I'm tired of steppin' on your shadow
     E
And feeling in the way
         E
Yеs
I'm tired by the middle of the morning
     E
I'm out of shit to say

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

🎸 Chorus 3:
          E
Yes
I'm tired of livin' in the moment
E
And sleeping through the dream
         E
I step outside in the middle of the morning
 E
And the roses hear the scream

🎸 Interlude:
F#m   C#m  E   B x3
A   E

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

🎸 Chorus 1:
         E
Well
I tried to open up my windows
E
And let the light come in
           E
I step outside in the middle of the morning
E
And in the evening again

🎸 Outro:
E     A E
