Am
In cold light of morning
while everyone is yawning,
 G
You're high,
Am
In the cold light of morning
the party gets boring,
 G
you're high,

         Adim
As your skin starts to scratch
          Bm        B          Em  C
and wave yesterdays action goodbye,
C      Bm7
Forget past indiscretions,
Bm7
And stolen possessions,
        Em  C
You're high,
C      Am   B7
In the cold light

In the cold light of morning
While everyone's yawning, you're high
In the cold light of morning
You're drunk sick from whoring and high

Staring back from the mirrors
A face that you don't recognize
It's a loser, a sinner
A cock in a dildo's disguise
In the cold light


Bm A
Tomorrow
  Bm
Tomorrow
   A
Tomorrow

A         D
As your skin starts to scratch
                              F#m
And wave yesterdays action goodbye
        Bm
Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions.
        G
You're high
        A             E
In the cold light of day,

F#dim              Bm   B
Tomorrow's only a king, Whistle,
Em                 C
Whistle (Whistle), Whistle (Whistle),
Bm7
Whistle (Whistle), Whistle (Whistle),
 Em  C
Away,
C       Am  B7       Em
In the cold light of day
