Tropic Morning News

The chords in the bridge sections are a little finnicky, but the verses and choruses are right. 
Happy to get corrections :)

Intro
C#m B A B

Verse 1
C#m
I wasn't starting yet
         B
I didn't even think you were listening
A
I wasn't ready at all
       B
To say anything about anything interesting
C#m
It's a thing you have
               B
You just don't know that you do it
          A
You wait around in a conversation
            B
While I get in and start stumbling through it

Chorus
E
I was so distracted then
         F#m
I didn't have it straight in my head
                 D
I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel
E
Of where I was going with it all
E
I was suffering more than I let
F#m
On. The tropic morning news was on
D
There's nothing stopping me now
E
From saying all the painful parts out loud

Verse 2
C#m
Got to my feet
                 B
Feeling that I'd let you down
          A
Wanted to say it slow and perfect
           B
But it all somehow got switched around
C#m
Something went off on its own
   B
My dumb, automatic chit-chat
A
It's not what I meant to say at all
B
There's no way you can attach me to that

Chorus
E
Got up to seize the day
                   F#m
With my head in my hands feeling strange
            D
When all my thinking got mangled
               E
And I caught myself talking myself off the ceiling
E
I was suffering more than I let
F#m
on, the tropic morning news was on
D
There's nothing stopping me now
E
From saying all the painful parts out loud

Post-Chorus
E                     F#m
Oh, where are all the moments we'd have?
                D
Oh, where's the brain we shared?
          E
Something somehow has you rapidly improving
E                        F#m
Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on?
                D
Oh, where's the gravity gone?
                           E
Something somehow has you rapidly improving


Bridge
A E F#m D
A E F#m D

A             E
You found the ache in my argument
F#m          D
You couldn't wait to get out of it
A             E
You found the slush in my sentiment
F#m         D
You made it sound so intelligent
A                                   E
You can stop and start an athlete's heart
F#m      D
How do I feel about it?
A                    E
I would love to have nothing to do with it
D
I would like to move on and be through with it

Verse 3
C#m E A B

C#m                              B
I'll be over here lying near the ocean
Making ocean sounds
A
Let me know if you can come over
    B
And work the controls for a while

Chorus
E
I was so distracted then
         F#m
I didn't have it straight in my head
                 D
I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel
E
Of where I was going with it all
E
I was suffering more than I let
F#m
on, The tropic morning news was on
D
There's nothing stopping me now
E
From saying all the painful parts out loud

Post-Chorus
E                     F#m
Oh, where are all the moments we'd have?
                D
Oh, where's the brain we shared?
          E
Something somehow has you rapidly improving
E                        F#m
Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on?
                D
Oh, where's the gravity gone?
                           E
Something somehow has you rapidly improving
