[Intro]
E   A E   A E
A E   A E
A E   A E
A E

[Chorus 1]
        E    A E
Well, I tried    to
   A     E
 open up my window
     A            E
And let the light come in
       E      A E
I step outside    in the
   A            E
 middle of the morning
             A      E
And in the evening again
         E   A E
Yes, I tried     to be
    A       E
grateful for my devils
        A       E
And call them by their names
         E     A E
But, I'm tired
          A           E
by the middle of the morning
  A       E
I need someone to blame

[Verse 1]
              B
I know you're scared of me,
         A
I can see it in your face
       E
I can feel it in the way
           C#m
you move around this place
               B
I know you're scared of me,
        A
 I can see it in your smile
         E
Like an unattended child
                  B
you can't quitе trust

[Chorus 2]
         E   A E
But I'm tired    of steppin'
 A       E
 on your shadow
       A     E
And feeling in the way
         E    A E
Yеs, I'm tired    by
           A       E
the middle of the morning
          A        E
I'm out of shit to say

[Verse 2]
         B
I ain't used to this,
           A
 seein' everybody's hand
       E
I was raised to be a strong
             C#m
and silent Southern man
         B                A
I ain't used to this, a thousand
days alone
      E
In my bed or in
                  B
my head or in my phone

[Chorus 3]
          E    A E
Yes, I'm tired     of livin'
 A       E
 in the moment
        A             E
And sleeping through the dream
          E   A E
I step outside    in the
        A      E
 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
I know you're scared of me,
         A
so I never get too close
       E
I just sit here on the
                C#m
tailgate like a farmhand's ghost
           B
Watch the roses bloom,
             A
 watch 'em wilt away and die
         E
'till I notice I've been
                B
cryin' this whole time

the middle of the morning
