Night Shift Chords

[Intro]
D           G#
 
[Verse 1]
    D                       E                 
The first time I tasted somebody else's spit, 
        D                    G#
I had a coughing fit
     D                           E
I mistakenly called them by your name
          D                   G#
I was let down, it wasn't the same
          D     
I'm doing fine, 
 E                            D
trying to derail my one track mind
  G#                                 D
Regaining my self-worth in record time
 D          E                       D    
But I can't help but think of your other 
                    G#
in the bed that was mine
       D          
Am I a masochist, 
          E                         D
resisting urges to punch you in the teeth
 D                   G#
Call you a bitch and leave?
          D                 
Why did I come here? To sit 
              E
and watch you stare at your feet?
             D     
What was the plan? 
                             G#
Absolve your guilt and shake hands?
 
[Chorus]
D
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
D                    G#
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
D                      E
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
G#                     F#
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
 
[Instrumental Break]
D E D G#
 
[Verse 2]
      D           E     
Don't hold your breath, 
           D                  G#
forget you ever saw me at my best
           D                       E
You don't deserve what you don't respect
                        D                     G#
Don't deserve what you say you love and then neglect
    D         E       
Now bite your tongue, 
         D                    G#
it's too dangerous to fall so young
                   D
Take back what you said
E                   D          G#
Can't lose what you never had
 
[Chorus]
D
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
D                    G#
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
D                      E
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
G#                     F#                   D       A
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
 
[Refrain]
A                                  D
You got a 9 to 5, so I'll take the night shift
     E                                A
And I'll never see you again if I can help it
                                          D
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
F         E       A
Dedicated to new lovers

A                                  D
You got a 9 to 5, so I'll take the night shift
     E                                A

                                          D
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers

                                          D
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
F         E       D       A
Dedicated to new lovers
