Verse

    D                        G
The morning lies heavy on me father

  Em                               A
I couldn't find the time to fall asleep

      D                                    G
And I couldn't stop from thinking, all the deeper

           Em           G        A
'Cause the morning lies heavy on me

They said I didn't have to be there 'till tomorrow
And there's friends of mine I've really got to see
But it's not goodbye and only soon to follow
And the morning lies heavy on me

Chorus

         D                 G                  A        
Tell me, who's the one who fights until he's broken

          D              G               A
Is it the men who sit in judgement of us all

           Em             G                     D      Bm
I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking

           G                            A
They don't listen or even answer to the call


And tomorrow I will be flying from the mainland
And joining a new company
And some of us will never see our homeland
And the morning lies heavy on me

(Chorus)

And what's left for decent people to believe in
It's not as simple as to be or not to be
And what's the point, it's only us that we're deceiving
And the morning lies heavy on me

(Chorus)

The morning lies heavy on me father
I couldn't find the time to fall asleep
And I couldn't stop from thinking all the deeper
'Cause the morning lies heavy on me
