[Intro] C G/B Dm C F C/E G Am G Dm F G [Verse]
C      G        F        G
Here I am again perfect timing,

     C          G               F         G
The strings are ringing and the words are rhyming

  Am               G               F           G
I used to hate the fool in me, but only in the morning

      C            G       F
Now I tolerate him all day long
[Instrumental] C G/B Dm C F C/E G Am G Dm F G [Verse]
C            G        F        G
Out on the highway, I hear the moaning

        C              G             F              G
That low and lonesome whisper, You only know from longing,

Am                   G               F           G
Through those naked trees at the windows glowing orange,

        C              G             F
Taking over that cold shoulder racing by
[Bridge]
F            G
I might have known before

Dm                           F                 G              C
If I'd got this old before I thought I got too cool to give a damn

     F               G              Dm
That who you see in dreams at night seem to spend their afterlives

F                                G
Trying hard to live the last one down
[Instrumental] C G/B Dm C F C/E G Am G Dm F G [Verse]
C      G        F        G
Here I am again perfect timing,

     C          G               F         G
The strings are ringing and the words are rhyming

  Am               G               F           G
I used to hate the fool in me, but only in the morning

      C            G       F
Now I tolerate him all day long
