Gm F Bb
It can't be said I'm an early bird
Cm Ebmaj7 Eb
It's ten o'clock before I say a word

Baby, I can never tell
D7
How do you sleep so well?
Gm
You keep telling me to live right
F Bb
To go to bed before the daylight
Cm Ebmaj7 Eb
But then you wake up for the sunrise
Bb
You know you don't gotta pretend
D7
Baby, now and then
Pre-Chorus 1 :
Gm
Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake?
F Bb
Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze?
Cm Ebmaj7 Eb
If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great
F
But while in this world

I think I'll take my whiskey neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

I aim true and the ground's where I go
Cm Ebmaj7 Eb
I work late where I'm free from the phone
And the job gets done
F D7
But you worry some, I know
Gm
But who wants to live forever, babe?
F Bb
You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate
Cm Ebmaj7 Eb
The rest of you like you're the TSA
Bb D7
I wish I could go along, babe, don't get me wrong
Pre-Chorus 2 :
Gm
You know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain

Pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape
Cm Ebmaj7 Eb
If you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait
F
Until that day
