Capo on the 2nd fret
VERSE 1
GWake in the D/F#morning  EmLord I'm drunken with the Cdawn.
GWaiting on a train that I D/F#know runs no more Emjust outside of 
CBaltimore.
GOr Chicago well I D/F#just don't know
EmEveryday it's harder when you Cspend your time alone
GThen there's no one ever there to saD/F#y hello
When the Emsweet morning sun does Ccome.
And it always seems to come
CHORUS
One daDy I will GriCse
GHigh above it Call
She will Gcatch me if I Cfall
And I kAmnow I will aDlways be   the CKing of Grey
VERSE 2
Sweet promises of springtime turn the brown lies of early fall
Orbiting around a love that I once called my own
Never have I felt so small
And maybe it's the wintertime come to make me feel so cold
But there is just a slight chance that this pain comes from watching smiles fade away
They fade away
CHORUS 2
One day DI will GriCse
GHigh above it Call
She will Gcatch me if I Cfall
And I wAmill live todDay
And I Gwill watch hCer dancing in the sGunC  
My whole world's cGome unCdone
And I Amknow I will Dalways be the   CKing of Grey.
