Its far too early in the morning 
		 G            D 
To be trying to call her

Far too early in the day time 
                   G              D    C 
To be thinking about die... but i am

Far too innocent to be a part of 
         G                  D                    C 
Such a cruel world, and it is, and it is, and it is

And so ill go yes ill go

I had to ask myself 
Em                     C 
When i am such such a bad man 
          G                D                C 
But only to her, only to her, only to her 

 
            G 
And so ill go yes ill go 
        C                   G     C 
So ill take that train and ride

hope that i could rhyme her a rhyme 
            G 
And so ill go yes ill go 
        C                   G     C 
So ill take that train and ride 
                            G 
wishing hope that i could rhyme her a rhyme 
          C 
I might stop this tick of time 
    D                           G 
Get off this situation and feel fine 
    D                           G 
Get off this situation and feel fine
