The Morning Light Album Chords

The Morning Light
The Morning Light
 
This is the greatest album ever.  Some of the songs proved to be simple (done
writing love songs), while others showed to be complex (Wake Up!).

*Verse 1:*
 
             Am         G
I'll bury my face in my hands
 
                    C               F
I'm sifting through thoughts that I have
 
    Am       G      C       F
And nothings making sense
 
            Am             G
I called it off, called it quits
 
                C          F
And this is the melody I'm stuck with
 
   Am       G      C       F
No nothings making sense
 
 
*Chorus:*
 
            F           C
You think I forgot what went wrong
 
           Am                G
Well you'd better think that through
 
          F            C              G
Cause I'm done writing love songs for you
 
 
*Verse 2:*
 
                 Am            G
I'll turn off my heart from my mouth
 
              C            F
Watching your car leave my house
 
         Am             G
And I've seen that look before (you're begging, please say something)
 
       C                   F
And my teeth can't take no more
 
       Am               G
Do you remember what we were?
 
 
*Repeat Chorus*
 
*Bridge:*
 
      Am                       G
Cause you once said we'd never fall apart
 
     C                        F
If I remember it, you swore a brand new start
 
      Am                            G
As we laid on that bed, New Jersey, raining hard
 
       C                               F
And we talked through the movie in our favorite part
 
           Am               G
So tell me howd it get this far
 
 
*Repeat Chorus Twice*

|--Brand, New, Friends--|

Intro:
 
D  G  Bm  A
 
*Verse 1:*
 
D               G                  Bm         A
She's got these brand new friends, I've got a few new songs
 
D          G              Bm          A
But mostly new headaches, and reasons not to call
 
D               G          Bm             A
I slept through all today, and rearranged my head
 
D        G                Bm        A
Couldn't forget your face or how we watched our breath
 
 
*Pre Chorus:*
 
F#m           G
Flee from our tired mouths, we were lost
 
F#M             G            A
Please I've got enough on my mind
 
 
*Chorus:*
 
            D                   C
And I'll be fine, I'm sure your justified
 
                   Bm               A            G
I can't believe my concious told me that we'd be alright
 
             D                               C
So roll your eyes, like you need to one more time
 
                         Bm   A         G
Take your time away, I'm wide awake all night, alright
 
 
*Break:*
 
D  G  Bm  A
 
*Verse 2:* (Same chords as first)
 
So what did you expect, you've got me cornered here like this
Where I can feel your breathe, I don't want reminders that I can't
 
*Pre-Chorus 2:*
 
Breathe when I'm last to know when you leave
Oh I wanted the closure you keep
Behind locked doors and closed eyes
When I'm thinking will you accept that I am
 
*Repeat Chorus*
 
*Bridge:*
 
      Bm                        Bm/Bb
Girl, you keep on talking, your hands on my face
 
  A                              A/G#                   G
I feel you start breathing, your words are replaced by
 
      Bm                       Bm/Bb
These things I don't need, the feeling that leaves
 
A                        A/G#                G
Me hanging here, but I don't know what you expect from me
 
             Asus4    A
When this is hard to breathe
 
 
*Repeat Chorus*

|--Virginia--|

Intro:
 
D  A  G  D  A  G  D  A
 
 
*Verse 1:*
 
     D                     A
Oh I once knew a girl from virginia
 
        E                          F#m
She had eyes like the first day of may
 
        D                     A
And she talked like she never remembered
 
        G    D   A
What to say, hey hey
 
        G    D   A
What to say, hey hey
 
       D                       A
In the morning she left me her number
 
         E                       F#m
Then she fled like a bird in the rain
 
     D                     A
So I sat on the carpet and wondered
 
        G    D   A
What to say, hey hey
 
        G    D   A
What to say, hey hey
 
 
*Chorus*
 
   F#m                         E
We crept in the moonlight, she snuck by the door
 
D               A        E
Oh, virginia no more, no more
 
    F#m                      E
And awkward I stumbled, I've been there before
 
D            E
Oh virginia, no more
 
*Verse 2*
 
So I changed out the taste, and I made my escape
Out the door onto our separate ways
And I'll see you around if I do figure out
What to say, hey hey
What to say, hey hey
 
*Repeat Chorus*
 
*Outro*
 
(Same as the verse)

*Intro:*
 
C  Am  G  C  Am  G
 
*Verse:*
 
C     Am               G
Oh my god this town it feels like a headache
 
C           Am              G
And all the words inside my mouth won't come through
 
C             Am         G
I've got this pain in my head that I can't shake
 
C      Am              G
When I remind myself I can't get to you
 
       F      Am  G
And it rained all day
 
      C          Am               F             Am   G  F
And I figured it out, I'm not the person that I used to be
 
F      Am    G
Washed away
 
               F       G                 Am           G
Please someone make me okay, because I'm feeling like I might
 
 
*Chorus:*
 
F      C       Am      G               F        C
Take today and make my way through the town the street
 
    Am      G
The pouring rain
 
        F           G              Am           G    F     G
Because somedays it seems like the clouds won't stay away
 
C     Am    G          F     Am    G
Ba da ba ba ba, oh oh, ba da ba ba ba
 
*Verse 2:*
 
I watched you change with the seasons
I wrote you letters but I forgot to mention that
 
F                  G              C
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess, you're a stranger
 
F          G               G
Watch your face fade away, now I'm stuck here
 
 
*Repeat Chorus*
 
 
*Bridge:*
 
Am
You watch me wait on the steps of your house
 
G
I stood outside, and you refused to come out
 
    F         G
And honestly, this is making me sick
 
    Am               G
And all this time, I tried to hide
 
    F                         G
The truth inside, but this is making me sick
 
 
Making me sick
 
 
*Repeat Chorus*

*Verse 1:*
 
        F
I don't believe you
 
           G                              C
No I don't believe that you're alright
 
       C/B        F
You're lips I can see through
 
             G                      G/Ab
Discover the truth, don't stretch a smile
 
    F                                G                         C  C/B
And someday you'll discover that the friends you left behind
 
        F                            G                  Am   C
Are the only people you will have to open up your eyes
 
                  G                F
Cause you've been living like your blind
 
 
*Chorus:*
 
    C                     C/B
I'm moving to fast now to let go
 
Am                          Dm
Losing my chance to make it alone, get out on my own
 
     F              G              F
Will someone anyone follow me back home?
 
G   C      C/B
Oh, follow me back home
 
 
*Verse 2:*
 
 
And I've been thinking that I almost feel okay
Cause I've been dreaming through these wasted summer days
Never sleeping, but I never feel awake
Oh I wish that I had one way, just one way to say
 
                   Em                    F
That I've got this plan, and these small words
 
           Am                G
And my big mouth to get them heard
 
              Em             F            G
Now listen to me, you're not alone if you heard
 
 
*Repeat Chorus Twice*
 
 
*Bridge:*
 
            F
I think its time to go back, time to go back, time to go
 
Am
Time that you go home
 
F                                          Am
Never gonna change, never gonna change
 
             F                     Am
What are you doing?  Where did you go?
 
             F                     G                     Am   C
What are you doing?  Where did you lose control, did you lose control?
 
 
*Repeat Chorus Twice*
 
 
*Verse "3":*
 
        F                       G                   C
I don't believe you, no I don't believe that you're alright
 
   C/B     F
No I don't believe you
 
                G                                 Am      C
Cause there's a part of you that never wanted any part of me
 
        Em         F
And you never know enough to know
 
            Am            G
That you're forever gonna be alone
 
             Em                F   G           C
And you were better before you got better than me

|--Honest (Apologies Endless)--|
|------------------------------|
 
*Intro:*
 
Am    Em    G    D
 
 
*Verse 1:*
 
  Am
I remember California calling out my name
 
  Em
I remember Carolina and the way she tastes
 
  G
I fell into Virginia looking for my way,
 
         D
took the ferry in Seattle to get out of the rain
 
      Am
And I remember watching everybody looking for love
 
    Em
The born-agains and newly weds I met on the run
 
  G
I lost myself in what I'm not
 
   D
So I sat down and thought
 
 
*Chorus:*
 
                 C      G
If I can make an honest mistake
 
                 Em                 D
Then you can let yourself live this way
 
                 C      G
If I can make an honest mistake
 
          D
Then your safe, then your safe
 
                 C      G
If I can make an honest mistake
 
                   Em                 D
Then you can't let yourself live this way
 
                 C      G
If I can make an honest mistake
 
          D
Then your safe, then your safe
 
 
*Repeat Intro*
 
 
*Verse 2:*
 
I saw you left another message but I won't reply
I saw you disappear completely and I don't know why
I'm selfishly connected to a changing mind
I should lift myself and find the time to
Place a call or write you back or
Start to talk with those I have
I'm completely alone, had my time and it passed
But now its time to ask
 
 
*Repeat Chorus*
 
 
*Bridge:*
 
     G
Well you can't wait
 
    Em
And I can't change
 
D                     C           Cm
Apologies endless for ending this way
 
 
*Repeat Chorus*

*Verse 1:*
 
Am              G               Am           G
Perfect are the people who were out on their own
 
          F   C       F     C
You gotta get free to live
 
    Am              G                Am      G
And girl you got me singing like I'm not all alone
 
          F   C     F  C
You gotta get me to exist
 
 
*Chorus:*
 
      Am    G         F    C       Am     G       F         C
Cause oh if you could only see the lovely ways in which you breathe
 
         F             G              E              Am
From the bed where you lay, up to the corners of you eyes
 
   Am           G        F
If only I could have you tonight
 
G          Am           G        C
Oh, yes if only I could have you tonight
 
 
*Verse 2:*
 
And faking all the spaces where we meet at the mouth
I gotta win free your kiss
Cause empty are emotions that were freaking me out
In the shade of your love I forgot who I was
 
*Repeat Chorus*
 
*Bridge*:
 
Trumpet Solo:
 
Am  G  F  F
 
 
    F                        G
And if you do please, I will follow you home
 
      E                   Am       G
Cause everybody heres got someone
 
    F                       G
And if you do leave I'll be back on my own
 
         E                  Am    G    F       G
And I'll save your name for rainy days alone
 
 
*Repeat Verse 1*
 
 
*Repeat Chorus*
 
 
*Outro:*
 
   Am           G    E   C
If only I could have you tonight

|--This Way--|
|------------|
 
 
  G            Am           C
I wake just to find another days past me by
 
          G     Am          C
And thats all I remember so far
 
          G               Am
Watch the sun creep quite dreary eyes
 
C
Illuminate the moons goodbye
 
    G         C           Dsus4  D
And oh how it feels to be young
 
           Am                   C
Though its over the day that we changed
 
       Am        C
Oh the love we'd instill if we'd stayed
 
     G
This way
 
         G               Am                C
Still we change with the times but see the clocks don't rewind
 
        G               Am         C
And the hands generally do as they please
 
          G           Am
Still its on and on I hear our name,
 
  C
A generation left astray
 
    G         C           Dsus4  D
And oh how it feels to be loved
 
           Am                   C
Though its over the day that we changed
 
       Am        C               D
Oh the love we'd instill If we'd stayed
 
               Em           D
Cause when you die well you die,
 
        C            G
So just live how you please
 
           Em      D               C
Because we all are alive and we're free
 
        Em     D             C             A
Let not anyone claim forward thought paved mistakes
 
           C                       D
Cause they dressed us then left us alone
 
        G           Am           C
So I'll wait till I find another day where I'll try
 
   G                Am              C
To believe I should leave my sheets behind

Bm         G          A
Oh my god, I think my heart was asleep
 
Bm         G            A
I woke up, your face is lost in a dream
 
Bm            G           A
All this love was singing me to sleep
 
Bm                     G         A
But now your gone, and so is the melody
 
Bm                       G       A
And every day, there are flowers sprouting new
 
Bm                              G         A
Cause out of the rain, the most beautiful things grew
 
A               Bm     Bm/C#
And I'm growing out of you
 
 
*Chorus:*
 
D                 Em
I'm moving along, moving along tonight
 
G                   A
Cause I've been let down and I need to feel high
 
D                 Em
I'm moving along, moving with love tonight
 
G                          A                Bb          D
Cause I've been out of the sun, but now its back to the white
 
 
*Verse 2:*
 
 
Looking through a dirty window, top floor
 
 
Trees are lighting up and birth new colors
 
 
 
 
 
I'm just too lazy to do it right now, but I'll update it with the rest of movin'
along soon.  I figured the rest of it out.
