Verse 1
                 D5
It's too late to know
                        G5
Just what we could have been
                              D5
Don't want to have this conversation
      G5
Ever again
                              C5
When you walk right through my door
    C5   C5  A5
Without any warning
                    A5
Please don't say a word
       C5    C5      G5
Just thank me in the morning


Verse 2
                     D5
You hide sorrow in a smile
                    G5
Forever in a little while
                     D5
Hide a lock inside a key
                               G5
and you hide your love inside of me
                        C5
But some day you'll go your way
       C5     C5       A5
and someday I'll lose mine
                        A5
It's hailing and it's storming
         C5       C5     G5
So just thank me in the morning

Verse 3
                        D5
Now you're screaming at me
                           G5
gritted teeth and clenched fists
                            D5
How can you stand there and act
                        G5
as though love is not a risk
                C5
And you And you cry, "I'm not to blame"
                   C5     C5         A5
You said, "It's just the world I was born in"
                   A5      B5 C5
You can't reach me now
             C5     C5      G5
but you can thank me in the morning

                   A5
Please don't say a word
      C5       C5     G5
just thank me in the morning
                   A5
You can't reach me now
            C5        C5    G5
but you can thank me in the morning
