Lyrics
Verse 1
I'm in love with the world
Through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
Verse 2
We broke up a month ago
But I grew up, I didn't know
You'd be around the morning after
[Solo]
Verse 3
It's always been wait and see
A happy day and then you pay
You feel like shit the morning after
Verse 4
But now I feel changed around
And instead of falling down
I'm standing up the morning after
Bridge (strummed)
C D G
Situations get fucked up
Em A7 C
And turned around sooner ar laaaaaatteeeeeeeeer
Verse 5
I could be another fool
Or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after
Middle 8 (strummed)
G(2) D Em(2)
Crickets spin can't come to rest
F7 Em(2)
I'm damaged bad at best
D C
She'll decide what she wants
G(2) D Em(2)
I'll probably be the last to know
F7 Em(2)
No one says until it shows
D Em7
See how is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss
Em7 Dm7 Dm7 C C
They want you or they don't
D(2)
Say Yes
Repeat Verse 1
[Solo]

In that part where it goes "sooner or laaaaaaaterrrrr" there's a
little fill that goes like this.
|-5--5-----5-----5-----|-3--3-----3------8--7--5--|
|-5----5-----5-----5---|-5----5-----5-------------| then just go
|-6------6-----6-----6-|-5------5-----5-----------| back to the
|-5--------------------|-5------------------------| verse
|-7--------------------|-3------------------------| pattern
|-5--------------------|-3------------------------|
the second guitar part in the verse is like this
--|-7v-7---7v-7-|-7v-7---10v-10-|-8v-8---7v-7-|-5v-5---5v-5-|
--|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
--|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
--|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
--|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
--|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
Where it goes "She'll decide what she wants", it goes
|--3--8-7-5-3-|
|--5--------3-|
|--5--------4-|
|--5--------5-|
|--3--------5-|
|--3--------3-|
And where it goes " iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssss" the second
guitar plays this
|-7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8-|

With all these parts it may look complicated, but if you have
two guitarists it is incredibally easy. Stay posted for "Between The
Bars", "No Name #3", and hopefully "Angeles".
