    Lyrics 
 
    Verse 1 
 
    I'm in love with the world 
    Through the eyes of a girl 
    Who's still around the morning after 
 
    Verse 2 
 
    We broke up a month ago 
    But I grew up, I didn't know 
    You'd be around the morning after 
 
         SOLO 
 
    Verse 3 
 
    It's always been wait and see 
    A happy day and then you pay 
    You feel like shit the morning after 
  
    Verse 4 
 
    But now I feel changed around 
    And instead of falling down 
    I'm standing up the morning after 
 
    Bridge strummed 
   C    D                 G 
    Situations get fucked up 
                 Em              A7        C 
    And turned around sooner ar laaaaaatteeeeeeeeer 
 
    Verse 5 
 
    I could be another fool 
    Or an exception to the rule 
    You tell me the morning after 
 
    Middle 8 strummed 
   G2       D                  Em2 
    Crickets spin can't come to rest 
        F7             Em2 
    I'm damaged bad at best 
              D             C 
    She'll decide what she wants 
   G2           D               Em2 
    I'll probably be the last to know 
            F7            Em2 
    No one says until it shows 
         D      Em7    
    See how is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss 
         Em7  Dm7 Dm7  C   C 
    They want you or they don't 
   D2 
    Say Yes 
 
    Repeat Verse 1 
 
 
      SOLO: 
   |------------7---7-------|------------------|-------------------| 
   |------------------------|------------------|-5h7-8-------------| 
   |------------------------|------7-7-7-------|-------------------| 
   |------5-7-9---9---9-7---|-9-10-------9-7-5-|-------9-7-5h7-5---| 
   |----------------------7-|------------------|-----------------7-| 
   |-3-3--------------------|------------------|-------------------| 
 
 
      
    In that part where it goes "sooner or laaaaaaaterrrrr" there's a  
little fill that goes like this. 
 
   |-5--5-----5-----5-----|-3--3-----3------8--7--5--| 
   |-5----5-----5-----5---|-5----5-----5-------------|  then just go 
   |-6------6-----6-----6-|-5------5-----5-----------|  back to the 
   |-5--------------------|-5------------------------|   verse 
   |-7--------------------|-3------------------------|   pattern 
   |-5--------------------|-3------------------------| 
 
 
    the second guitar part in the verse is like this 
 
   --|-7v-7---7v-7-|-7v-7---10v-10-|-8v-8---7v-7-|-5v-5---5v-5-| 
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------| 
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------| 
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------| 
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------| 
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------| 
 
 
    Where it goes "She'll decide what she wants", it goes 
  |--3--8-7-5-3-| 
  |--5--------3-| 
  |--5--------4-| 
  |--5--------5-| 
  |--3--------5-| 
  |--3--------3-| 
 
    And where it goes " iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssss" the second  
guitar plays this 
 
   |-7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8-| 
   |---------------------------------| 
   |---------------------------------| 
   |---------------------------------| 
   |---------------------------------| 
   |---------------------------------| 
 
          With all these parts it may look complicated, but if you have  
two guitarists it is incredibally easy. Stay posted for "Between The  
Bars", "No Name #3", and hopefully "Angeles".
