Intro 1

I waited till the morning,

Verse 1
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
to come back into use
D D 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
I wrote it out a hundred times,
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
but it never seemed as true as when I stumbled home and felt
G G 
 
E E 
 
The words upon my lips
A A 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
You grabbed me by my arm and
D D 
 
G G 
 
smelt the li quor in my truth
A A 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
I said, "I'm swimming in a cage"
Bm Bm 
 
D D

The morning rose in silence,
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
and I watched it fill the room
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
Earlier than dawn you crept into
G G 
 
A A 
 
the kitchen's light
D D 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
You always were an early bird,
G G 
 
D D 
 
and  I was always tired
A A 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
So I laid in bed all warm and wake
G G 
 
A A 
 
and thought about the coming days
C C 
 
G G 
 
I said, "I'm swimming in a cage,
D D 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
I'm swimming in a cage"
A A 
 
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
I folded on my page and left it by the kitchen sink,
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
where I knew that you would find it when you came back from New York
A A 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
E E 
 
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
You'd be sitting down the basket full of apples from the tree and with two hands you would open up my letter and begin to read,
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
"I'm swimming in a cage, and I don't want you drowning, and as my boots turned up dust, I just hoped for understanding"
