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


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

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

                   Am
Please don't say a word
      C       C/B     G
just thank me in the morning
                   Am
You can't reach me now
            C        C/B    G
but you can thank me in the morning
