Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
D MajorD
Little blue pills
D MajorD
Bottles of codeine lying
E minorEm B minorBm
On the shelf at dawn.
D MajorD
Sleeping soundly
D MajorD
With traffic gently humming
E minorEm B minorBm
Down the boulevard.
Chorus:
G+G
I hate the morning light
D MajorD
Because with every night
G+G
A augmentedA little earlier
B minorBm
It seems to get too bright
G+G
It squeezes through the blinds
D MajorD
Dissolves into my eyes
E minorEm A augmentedA
And I hate the sunny side.
Verse 2:
Calling good friends
And calling total strangers
Meet me at the bar.
Throw the card down
And leave the fucker open
Like I turned twenty-one.
Chorus (I guess?)
And when it's dark inside
I'll take a taxi ride
Down to the eastern side
Before it gets too bright
I pull the curtains down
I let my head spin round
And my ears ring over the sound.
My ears ring over the sound.
Verse 3:
I upped the dosage
and cleared my bank account
'til everything was gone.
Now the circles
around my eyes grow wider.
The lights are always on.
Chorus:
And every single night
I hold the covers tight
Until I toss and turn
And see the creeping light
I turn things off and on
and on and off and on.
Outro/bridge:
D MajorD C majorC B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA
And I sleep for fifteen minutes like an infant 'til alarm clocks buzz
D MajorD C majorC B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm
Through the cracks of the windows from the neighboring apartment until I
A augmentedA
wake up
D MajorD C majorC B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm
So I'll slip next paycheck into bottles brown and amber 'til it's all A augmentedA
gone
D MajorD C majorC B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm
So I'll sleep next paycheck with the fitful fucking terror 'til it's all
A augmentedA
gone.
E minorEm A augmentedA
