G
Heard it a thousand times

               Em7
Most about the lonely nights

          D                               G         D  D/F#
About the way he or she looked out in the moonlight

G
But its the light of day

              Em7
that troubles me much the same way

  D                              G
I feel I need to find a place to hide away
[Chorus]
D
Too often these days

D
Find me wide awake

Em7           C     G
Well past the dawn

     D           C       D
all those lonely mornings
[Verse 2]
G
Back in better days

      Em7
every morning I would wake

       D                            G           D  D/F#
to the smell of sweet perfume and a smiling face

G
Now im on my own

       Em7
bed we shared feels awful cold

D                                        G
an empty house just aint no kind of home
[Chorus]
D
at the kitchen table alone(?)

D
where the sun comes through the window

Em7                 C
I hear a blue heron calling(?)

G         D           C   D
all those lonely mornings
[Instrumental] G Em7 D G [Bridge]
Em7            D
kitchen window smoke

C                   D
Tippin ashes in the sink

Em7            D
in the window smokin'

C                    D
lookin out into the streets
[Verse 3]
G
neighbors' leaving for the day

                    Em7
I catch her eye she smiles and I do the same

D
then I shut the window

G                     D
and i pull the shades

G                         D   D/F#
i shut all the lights out

                   Em7
and though it don't matter anyhow

     D                                       G
Baby I've been sleeping in the basement on a couch
[Chorus]
D
At least I sleep

D
I still dream

Em7                         C
But in my dreams I'm always falling

G     D      C        D
Those lonely mornings
G
