[Intro 1]
[G][Am][F][Am][A][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]She
she used
to live with his [Am]brother
Now she's an unmarried [F]mother
with a[Am]nother
on t[A]he way[G]
He's seond rate
twisted out o[Am]f shape
and [F]he looks a state,
it costs so [Am]much to look this rough
[G]They go to [Dm]town
they like to shop
[C]around
and look at all those things
All those things they [G]never wnated anyway
[Bm]
She hates h[G]is h[Dm]air
that stupid coat [C]he wears
but sometimes second best
is the best that you can [G]get
Oh yes
oh somebody told m[F]e
'cos seconds turn to h[Dm]ours
and [Am]the hours turn into [C]days
but still it feels like m[Em]orning[F]
The first time leaves its trace
and then slides into s[Am]econd p[C]lace
and still it feels like [Em]morning[F]
At night they try to f[Am]ly
hold on tight and close [F]their [C]eyes
and they hit the ground in the m[Em]orning[G]
But in the morning it's [Am]raining
Oh Christ you're a[G]lways complaini[F]ng
can't you [Am]think of something
[G]else
It's nearly-nu
[Dm]a bargain basement mad[C]e for two
and if you blur your eyes
you could be anywhere
you w[G]ant y[Bm]ourself to be
Oh yeah, it's [Dm]bad
I know you want to laugh,
[C]so laugh
But sometimes second best
Is all that you can g[G]et
Oh yeah
oh somebody told me
[F]
the seconds turn to h[Dm]ours
[F]and the hou[Am]rs turn into day[C]s
but still it feels l[G]ike m[Em]ornin[F]g
The first time leaves it[G]s t[Dm]race[Am]
and then slides into second p[C]lace
and still it feels [Em]like [F]morning
At night they try to fly
[Dm]hold [Am]on tight and close their eyes[C]
and they hit the ground in t[Em]he morning
[Am]But you're so perfect[G]
you don't [Dm]interest me at all
You're golden boy fell [Am]down[C]
Don't
you know he
hasn't got a personal[Am]ity?
[Bm]And I know
he said he'd last all night
then gave you second[C]s
[F]yeah
The seconds turn to [Am]hours
and the
[F]hours [Dm]turn [Am]in to d[C]ays
but still it feels like [Em]morning[F]
The first time leaves its t[Dm]race
[F]and the[Am]n slides into second pla[C]ce
and still it feels like m[Em]ornin[F]g
At night they try to [Dm]fly[Am]
hold on
tight and [F]close their eye[C]s
and they hit the ground in [Em]the morning
[C][F]
My God they're s[G]till alive[Dm]
[F]they got it wrong but[Am] they still tri[C]ed
and they made it through to the
morning.
[Em]
