Morning Breaks

Matt Beckler


Tom: Em

INTRO:
Em
   One, two, three

Em  Am  D  G
Em  Am  D  G
G   B   C  Em
G   B   C  D
Em  Em


VERSE:
 Em                    Am
Whoever's dear to you hold them close tonight
            D                    G
‘Cause you never know what will come
Em                       Am
Morning breaks and it’s just you and the shakes
        D                                   G
If you made the right decision then you’re gone

 Em                         Am
Your broken promises are thrown out in the yard
           D             G
How they glisten in the dawn
Em                             Am
And in the cold you feed your fiddle to the stove
  D               B                 Em
Screaming like a Banshee all night long


INSTRUMENTAL:
G   B   C   Em
G   B   C   D


CHORUS:
G                      B
My hands are raw from working through the fall
         C                  Em
Just to make my way back to you
G                       B
If what it takes is to live out my mistakes
      C                   D
Then honey I will pay my dues
 G                            B
Hard to recall when did this world get so damn small
        C                Em
And my body so worn and used
 G                     B
It’s harder yet to forgive and forget
         C                      D    Em  Em
When my memories are laced and blue


VERSE:
 Em                        Am
That broken record starts playing on its own
          D                       G
Spinning out when no one else is home
Em                         Am
And if you listen ‘til the end
                           D
It flips itself and plays again
           G
All night long

 Em                             Am
It’s not the songs or when the lights turn off and on
         D                              G
Or the screaming in my head that never ends
 Em                       Am
It’s not your ghost that haunts me the most
         D                B           Em
But the fact that we may never meet again


INSTRUMENTAL:
G   B   C   Em
G   B   C   D


CHORUS:
G                      B
My hands are raw from working through the fall
         C                  Em
Just to make my way back to you
G                       B
If what it takes is to live out my mistakes
      C                   D
Then honey I will pay my dues
  G                           B
Hard to recall when did this world get so damn small
        C                  Em
And my body so worn and used
 G                     B
It’s harder yet to forgive and forget
         C                      D             G
When my memories are laced and blue ooh, ooh, ooh
