Introduction:

 G            G/F#           Em 
   I' m in love with the world
               D          C 
Through the eyes of a girl
                Em7              A7 
Who' s still around the morning after
 G             G/F#        Em 
   We broke up a month ago
         D             C 
I grew up I didn' t know
           Em7              A7 
I' d be around the morning after

 G              G/F#          Em 
it' s always been wait and see
           D                C 
a happy day and then you pay
                 Em7             A7 
and feel like shit the morning after
 G            G/F#           Em 
but now I feel changed around

               Em7            A7 
I' m standing up the morning after

 C       D                   Em

 G          G+                 G6 
  Crooked spin can' t come to rest
     G7                Em

               D          C 
Through the eyes of a girl
                Em7              A7 
Who' s still around the morning after
