Chords

[Intro] D
D
I know the sun's about to come up

Em
I close my eyes anyway

D
My mouth is dry and the sheets are cold

Em
And will be still come break of day

D
You called me up just to surprise me

Em
To hear my voice, see what I'd say

D
I only whispered, and then hung up

Em
Whispered "wait til break of day"

D                   Em
At break of day I'm ending all of it

F#m          G
And so don't say you've had a ball

Em
Dawn is mine, but I will share it

F#m
With whatever bird will wear it

G
On her body bare and pink

A                                 D
Now what do you think of break of day

D
I locked my door, I should unlock it

Em
What if you should come this way

D
And in and have a drink and dancing

Em
Dancing till the break of day

D
And then to bed we'd dance towards

Em
And tiredly kiss and roll in hay

D
But waking in the evening I see

Em                      D
You left after break of day

D                   Em
At the break of day I'm ending all of it

F#m          G
And so don't say you've had a ball

Em
Dawn is mine, but I will share it

F#m
With whatever bird will wear it

G
On her body bare and pink

A                                 D
Now what do you think of break of day

A                                 D
Now what do you think of break of day

D
I hate myself when I'm alone

Em
It's just with you I feel okay

D
And so tomorrow you'll feel sorrow

Em
When I am gone at break of day
