It's too late to know

Just what we could have been

Ever again

When you walk right through my door

Without any warning

Please don't say a word

C C/B G

Just thank me in the morning

Verse 2

You hide sorrow in a smile

Forever in a little while

Hide a lock inside a key

and you hide your love inside of me

But some day you'll go your way

It's hailing and it's storming

So just thank me in the morning
