I was young and in spite
Of every clue and every warning sign
I still wanted you
To be the one next to me
Beneath the morning light
Beneath the morning light
So I fought the good fight
In the shadows of the darkest nights
And what did I find
And so I sat and [Bm]so I cried
And so I smoked and [Bm]so I lied
Settling affairs in the ways of a man set to [C7]die
Hoped and [Bm]prayed that i would but instead I ɾesigned
That I would never see you
Beneath the morning light
Beneath the morning light
I was [Am7]lost when I found
The cold comforts tied to [C7]the ground
I swear I gave it all [Em]for [Dm7]you [A7and [Bm]it's tɾue
Now I'm old and [Bm]uptight
And I've accepted my [A]place in this life
But at times I still cry
Because I'll never see you
Beneath the morning light
Beneath the morning light
You can hate me
But don't forget me
