Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
D MajorD
Black coffee early in the morning
A augmentedA
Wake up tangled in your arms
E MajorE
I do not mean to cause alarm
F# minorF#m
But I could never give you more
D MajorD
Than this 'cause this is all I got
A augmentedA
Another fucked up caveat
E MajorE
I got so high that I forgot
F# minorF#m           D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
That I'm no better than I seem

Verse 2:
D MajorD
Some words I'll never try to say
A augmentedA
How I loved you more and more each day
E MajorE
The way you sway your hips as you put
F# minorF#m
Your favorite records on but me
D MajorD
I even hate the way I breathe
A augmentedA
I hate the grass I hate the trees
E MajorE
The way my hair blows in the breeze
F#F# BB         D MajorD  A augmentedA E MajorE E
Whatever isn't cruel to me

Chorus:
D MajorD     E MajorE       A augmentedA
Double my meds and stay in bed
F# minorF#m      E MajorE
I can't feel anything again
D MajorD     A augmentedA         E MajorE
My face, my arms, my common sense
D MajorD    E MajorE
I never should've let you in but
F# minorF#m   E MajorE      BB
Now is now and then is then
A augmentedA            E MajorE
Who could it really hurt again
       D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
Who could it hurt

Verse 3:
D MajorD
Black coffee early in the morning
A augmentedA
Wake up tangled up alone
E MajorE
I do not mean to cause alarm
F# minorF#m
In fact most days it's preferable
D MajorD
'Cause this is all that I have got
A augmentedA
I'm trying not to fuck it up
E MajorE           F#F# E MajorE C#C#
I'm trying not to get stuck
