[Intro] E A E A E A E A E A E A E A E [Chorus 1]
        E    A E      A     E
Well, I tried    to open up my window

     A            E
And let the light come in

       E      A E          A            E
I step outside    in the middle of the morning

             A      E
And in the evening again

         E   A E          A       E
Yes, I tried     to be grateful for my devils

        A       E
And call them by their names

         E     A E           A           E
But, I'm tired      by the middle of the morning

  A       E
I need someone to blame
[Verse 1]
              B                   A
I know you're scared of me, I can see it in your face

       E                           C#m
I can feel it in the way you move around this place

               B                   A
I know you're scared of me, I can see it in your smile

         E                                B    
Like an unattended child you can't quitе trust
[Chorus 2]
         E   A E             A       E
But I'm tired    of steppin' on your shadow

       A     E 
And feeling in the way

         E    A E              A       E
Yеs, I'm tired    by the middle of the morning

          A        E
I'm out of shit to say
[Verse 2]
         B                      A
I ain't used to this, seein' everybody's hand

       E                                C#m
I was raised to be a strong and silent Southern man

         B                A
I ain't used to this, a thousand days alone

      E                          B    
In my bed or in my head or in my phone
[Chorus 3]
          E    A E          A       E
Yes, I'm tired     of livin' in the moment

        A             E
And sleeping through the dream

          E   A E               A      E
I step outside    in the middle of the morning

           A             E
And the roses hear the scream
[Interlude] F#m C#m E B x3 A E A E A E A E A E A E A E A E [Verse 3]
               B                   A
I know you're scared of me, so I never get too close

       E                              C#m
I just sit here on the tailgate like a farmhand's ghost

           B                      A
Watch the roses bloom, watch 'em wilt away and die

         E                              B       
'till I notice I've been cryin' this whole time
[Chorus 1]
        E    A E      A     E
Well, I tried    to open up my window

     A            E
And let the light come in

       E      A E          A            E
I step outside    in the middle of the morning

             A      E
And in the evening again
[Outro] E A E A E A E A E A E A E A E
