G
It's still so dark because it's

C/G     G
Still so early and the

C/G            G            D                          Cadd9
Chipper little girly at the front desk doesn't mind at all

G
These phony living rooms and

C/G             G
Fake plants are killing me

     C/G          G               D           G       D   
This bad coffee's filling me with equal parts joy and rage
[Pre-chorus]
Cadd9                         D
Put my makeup on and crack in half

        Em
I choke back a laugh

         D               D#dim
Find the camera with the red light
[Chorus]
E    B/E     A/E   E
Good morning Tucson

                B/E         A/E            E
The lights come on and so I smile wide and say

     B/E     A/E   E
Good morning Tucson

E          B/E          D              G
I throw to you before I throw the rest away
[Verse]
G
When I was coming up I

C/G     G               
Got the donuts which means

C/G       G             D     Cadd9
I got the donuts that I wanted

G
There was no young punk

   C/G            G
To steal my jelly glaze

         C/G           G                   D              G   D
And I am still sort of amazed that you can be born in the nineties
[Pre-chorus]
Cadd9                       D
When I don't like what they talk about

           Em
I take the earpiece out

              D                  D#dim
But they just cue me through the window
[Chorus]
E    B/E     A/E   E
Good morning Tucson

                B/E         A/E            E
The lights come on and so I smile wide and say

     B/E     A/E   E
Good morning Tucson

E          B/E          A/E
I throw to you before I throw the rest away
[Bridge]
G#9               C#/G#        G#9              C#/G#
While they do the weather I pretend I'm writing something

        E9          A/E  E9         A/E
But I'm really far away, really far away

  G#9           C#/G#             G#9             C#/G#
I keep my smile warm in case they turn the camera on

             E9                A/E    E9                A/E
'Cause now I have something to say, I have something to say
[Verse]
G
The camera's melting but I

C/G       G
Just keep going, it's been a

C/G      G             D                        Cadd9
Pleasure knowing you I wish you all the best of luck

G
When the prompter dies I'm

C/G         G
Comfortable winging it I'm

C/G         G               D                   G     D
Practically singing it, the song that tears the world apart
[Pre-chorus]
Cadd9                       D
Through the smoke behind my parking space

         Em
I see my giant face

     D                D#dim
On a billboard by the highway
[Chorus]
E    B/E     A/E   E
Good morning Tucson

                B/E         A/E            E
The lights come on and so I smile wide and say

     B/E     A/E   E
Good morning Tucson

E          B/E          D              G
I throw to you before I throw the rest away
