[Verse]
    C            G            F      C/E
The morning lies heavy on me, father
  Dm                F             G
I couldn't find the time to fall asleep
      C                  G              F      C/E
And I couldn't stop from thinking on it either
        Dm           F       G
And the morning lies heavy on me

[Verse]
            C                G               F      C/E
They said I wouldn't have to be there 'til tomorrow
            Dm                   F             G
And there's friends of mine I've really got to see
         C              G                    F      C/E
But it's not goodbye, I know they're soon to follow
        Dm           F       G
And the morning lies heavy on me

[Chorus]
        C                 F                 G
Tell me who's the one who fights until he's broken
          C              F              Bb    Dm
Is it the men who sit in judgment of us all?
           G                                    C
I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking
               Dm             F             G      F G
But they don't listen or even answer to the call

[Verse]
      C              G               F        C/E
And tomorrow I'll be flying from the mainland
    Dm           F        G
And joining in a new company
    C               G             F        C/E
And some of us will never see our homeland
        Dm           F       G
And the morning lies heavy on me

[Verse]
           C               G           F        C/E
And what's left for decent people to believe in
           Dm             F            G
It's not a question of to be or not to be
               C                G               F       C/E
And what's the point, it's only us that we're deceiving
        Dm           F       G
And the morning lies heavy on me

[Chorus]
        C                 F                 G
Tell me who's the one who fights until he's broken
          C              F              Bb    Dm
Is it the men who sit in judgment of us all?
           G                                    C
I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking
               Dm             F             G      F G
But they don't listen or even answer to the call

[Verse]
    C            G            F      C/E
The morning lies heavy on me, father
  Dm                F             G
I couldn't find the time to fall asleep
      C                  G              F      C/E
And I couldn't stop from thinking on it either
        Dm           F       G      F  G
And the morning lies heavy on me
