E A E [Verse 1] E A E Morning breeze comes blowing in as pressure starts to fade E A B Me I wake up early now, I know it's a cliche C#m E A Am Oh but you'll never find me sleeping at the end of any day E B A It's far too much to find my primed imagination E B C#m A It wonders through the night despite my petty protestation E A E But you'll never know I won't disclose the worried state I'm in E A B I do so value my composure it's unclear where to begin C#m E A Am Between the headlines read and endless dread or anxious moments when E B A I just interpret with the best faith that I can E B C#m A E A E But uncertainty unwelcome always comes to foil my carefulest laid plans [Chorus] A Am E There are things we didn't ever used to talk about A Am E The excitement in the evening just before the stars came out A Am E Like the rustling in the shadows in the park A Am E Like how we wandered off alone to find what we feel in the dark A Am E A E Like how it doesn't just get easy 'cause you start [Verse 2] E A E With your head laid on the shoulder of some boy you barely knew E A B Your unsleeping mind meandered through the things you did and didn't do C#m E A Am And certain in the morning you'd remember it was true E B A And on the wings of it you flew into the next town E B C#m A For the next few days you smiled and said you're glad you came around E A E Oh but the blowback's never easy when you're not sure what it means E A B The flipside of euphoria is still this mess it seems C#m E A Am And when you found a path less traveled doubt just climbed inside your dream E B There's always something saying you're not obeying C#m A E A E Some central laid out principles of being [Bridge] F#m A E I wanna say we are a people ever aching from self doubt F#m A B Not that it's so unique, it's just a thing to think about C#m E A Am I mean our parents model virtues of the workplace of the house E B C#m A E But not the night wind, not the road and not the family we find out in the cold B C#m A E A E Not to be tender-hearted sending art via youthfulness when old [Verse 3] E A E And you wondered what it meant to be politically queer E A B So when I'm lost within my longing is it politics I hear? C#m E A Am Oh but the way you felt so strong among the ones you held so dear E B A It wasn't home, it's someplace that you could believe in E B C#m A Now the rents are rising and your closest friends are leaving [Chorus] A Am E Oh but there are things we didn't ever used to talk about A Am E Like how pretenses at purity just drenched us in self doubt A Am E Like how we arrive imperfect as we are A Am E Like how the night wind felt more changeable than cold and distant stars A Am E Like how sometimes it just all still seems so far
