   I'm in love with the world

              D         C

Who's still around the morning after

G            Gmaj7/F#    Em
   We broke up a month ago

        D            C
I grew up I didn't know

A happy day and then you pay

And feel like shit the morning after

G              Gmaj7/F#      Em

I'm standing up the morning after

You tell me the morning after

  Crooked spin can't come to rest

    F6sus2           Em7
I'm damaged bad at best

          G5/D          C
She'll decide what she wants

G                D#maj7           Em7
  I'll probably be the last to know

       F6sus2           Em7
No one says until it shows

    G5/D   Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
See how it is

They want you or they don't,   say yes
[Verse 5]
G           Gmaj7/F#      Em
