E5  B5  A5

G5
It's still so dark because it's
C5     G5
Still so early and the
C5            G5            D5                          C5   
Chipper little girly at the front desk doesn't mind at all
G5
These phony living rooms and
C5             G5
Fake plants are killing me
     C5          G5               D5           G5       D5   
This bad coffee's filling me with equal parts joy and rage

C5                         D5
Put my makeup on and crack in half
        E5
I choke back a laugh
         D5               Eb5
Find the camera with the red light

Chorus

E5    B5     A5   E5
Good morning Tucson
                   B5         A5            E5
   The lights come on and so I smile wide and say
     B5     A5   E5
Good morning Tucson
E5          B5          D5              G5
I throw to you before I throw the rest away

G5
When I was coming up I
C5     G5               
Got the donuts which means
C5       G5             D5     C5
I got the donuts that I wanted
G5
There was no young punk
   C5            G5
To steal my jelly glaze
         C5           G5                   D5              G5   D5
And I am still sort of amazed that you can be born in the nineties
C5                       D5
When I don't like what they talk about
           E5
I take the earpiece out
              D5                  Eb5
But they just cue me through the window

Chorus

E5    B5     A5   E5
Good morning Tucson
                   B5         A5            E5
   The lights come on and so I smile wide and say
     B5     A5   E5
Good morning Tucson
E5          B5          A5
I throw to you before I throw the rest away

Bridge

Ab5               C#5        Ab5              C#5
While they do the weather I pretend I'm writing something
        E5          A(2) E5         A(2)
But I'm really far away,  Really far away
  Ab5           C#5             Ab5             C#5
I keep my smile warm in case they turn the camera on
             E5                A(2) E5                A5 (2 fr.)
'Cause now I have something to say, I have something to say
G5
The camera's melting but I
C5       G5
Just keep going, it's been a
C5      G5             D5                        C5
Pleasure knowing you I wish you all the best of luck
G5
When the prompter dies I'm
C5         G5
Comfortable winging it I'm
C5         G5               D5                   G5     D5
Practically singing it, the song that tears the world apart
C5                       D5
Through the smoke behind my parking space
         E5
I see my giant face
     D5                Eb5
On a billboard by the highway

Chorus
E5    B5     A5   E5
Good morning Tucson
                   B5         A5            E5
   The lights come on and so I smile wide and say
     B5     A5   E5
Good morning Tucson
E5          B5          D5              G5
I throw to you before I throw the rest away
