F#m

[Verse 1]

Black coffee early in the morning

Wake up tangled in your arms

I do not mean to cause alarm

F#m

But I could never give you more

Than this 'cause this is all I got

Another fucked up caveat

I got so high that I forgot

F#m D A E

That I'm no better than I seem

[Verse 2]

Some words I'll never try to say

How I loved you more and more each day

The way you sway your hips as you put

F#m

Your favorite records on but me

I even hate the way I breathe

I hate the grass I hate the trees

The way my hair blows in the breeze

F# B D A E E

Whatever isn't cruel to me

[Chorus]

D E A

Double my meds and stay in bed

F#m E

I can't feel anything again

D A E

My face, my arms, my common sense

D E

I never should've let you in but

F#m E B

Now is now and then is then

A E

Who could it really hurt again

D A E

Who could it hurt

[Verse 3]

Black coffee early in the morning

Wake up tangled up alone

I do not mean to cause alarm

F#m

In fact most days it's preferable

'Cause this is all that I have got

I'm trying not to fuck it up

E F# E C#

I'm trying not to get stuck
