verse 2 -
(same chords as verse 1 with guitar two playing some
other stuff that I can't quite figure out... anyone?)
i'm writing desperate songs
riff d
while you're fast asleep inside
i could try to sing until it rings
but my voice comes out uptight
(same as before)
cause when the morning's sad
you don't relax
no you cannot clear your mind
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
bridge-
(clean tone)
i tried a little i tried a lot
i'm not a window
and you've seen through everything i've got
(more distorted)
i don't think that i'll be safe
until everyone's awake
everybody everybody everybody yeah
solo (go Louise! )
other guitar plays E - A - F# - A
verse 3 -
(clean)
(picked chords)
so wake up and talk to me
such a long time since last night
(chords strummed once)
i know we said things
the maddest things
and i'm not sure who was right
when the morning's sad
you won't attack
cause you're much too weak to fight
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad
never had it so bad C5
never had it so bad x5
riff e (guitar 2)
never had it so bad x4
yeah yeah yeah
end with
guitar 1
