C                        Am
Daybreak comes with the devil's hum
G                   D
A carcass starts to breathe
C                        Am
Wakes one more time to try and find
G                   D
A place to count its teeth
C                        Am
And scrub the cuts from yesterday's
    G                   D
Hot scuffle in the street
            C                        Am
Show me the door
                  G                   D
I need somewhere to go

[Chorus 1]
C
Daylight
        G
Woke up hurting
      D              C
With tarmac to my side
               G
I woke up with dirty knees
D                  C
Not for the first time
          G
I woke up hurting
         D                C
Though I can't quite say why
            G
I woke up hurting
D       G
Woke up hurting

G (x2)

[Verse 2]
C                        Am
Slug through the day, sneak between
G                   D
The houses I have made
C                        Am
And run sacred rivers up my sleeve
G                  D
Pills by mouth with lemonade
C                        Am
As the hours slow down, they all clock out
      G                   D
Of the cracked up daily grind
         C                        Am
I'm in a back back street, coming down
   G                   D
I wait for the beam of light
             C                        Am
Show me the door
                    G                   D
I need somewhere to go

[Chorus 2]
C
Midnight
        G
Woke up hurting
      D            C
With tarmac to my side
                G
I woke up with dirty knees
D                      C
Not for the first time
          G
I woke up hurting
          D               C
Though I can't quite say why
           G        D
I woke up hurting
C
If all these southern tales are true
          G                    D
We should pray for abduction, pray it comes soon
    C
If all these southern tales are true
G                    D
Plan for Heaven, or Hell will do
C
If all these southern tales are true
G                              D
We should pray for abduction, pray it comes soon
C
If all these southern tales are true
G                   D
Plan for Heaven, or Hell will do
