In the recording, on the second verse the bass is droning the whole time on a C, so I wrote all the chords there with a /C, but feel free to ignore the C. It'll still sound fine.Was this info helpful?

[VERSE]
C     G         C                F          C
  Who sleeps in beds when you've got the sunrise
G       C             F            Am              F
Wasting time watching infomercials live on channel 9
C        G     C       F             C
  Us and Billy Mays, nowhere else to rile
G        C         F             Am      F
Stealing blankets, sleeping in a pile
 
 
[CHORUS]
G                         G6              G7
They made the sunrise for people like us
              G                            F
So we have an excuse as to why we're still up
G                       G6                G7
  Just so we can feel a little bit better
                    G                    F
About the neighbor's angry letter on our door step
       C    G       F
On our door fucking step
 
 
[VERSE]
C             G/C           C            F/C    C
  Went to the house of some friends that I just met
         G/C   C        F/C             Am      F
  Didn't feel okay so I bought some cigarettes
C         G/C             C        F/C             C
  Tonight everyone's with everyone else getting it on
      G/C    C          F/C        Am
  I'm alone asleep with my clothes on
             F
Maybe still awake

[VERSE]
C                G     C        F             C
  Woke up with raccoon eyes and crackled face paint
       G        C             F     Am    F
From a night of campfires and M-D-M-A
C               G        C       F      C
  The sun comes over the hill in Joshua tree
      G                C     F                Am
Let's grab a bottle of wine, some of Jamesy's weed
         F
If it's okay

I'm just a noob guitar player, but I know the song and it sounds fine. Thanks for the submission

Listening again the guitar chords are probably the same in verse 2 as in other verses. Just there's a loud bass playing a C through most of it on top of the acoustic. So you could write it as something likeC G/C C F/C C G/C C F/C Am Fmaybe I'll change that at some point... [edit] done

Good fun. Sounds fine, especially with a couple of guitars with accents on the top and bottom.
