On the quick changes from E to A to E again you only need to strum the A a couple times rapidly

intro: A E
E                                      A E
the morning comes to a stuttering halt
E
the cool breeze that blows is somebody's fault
           A
the summer heat tries to burn through
    E                                        A         D  A E
and i look over to warn you but something's happening


the morning glories climb the wall
and you speak in a slow drawl
i'm trying to piece together what you're saying
but the birds are screeching, the hounds are baying
i don't remember there being any hounds around here

E                                     
we lean back and we clink our glasses
A E
raise the drinks to our thirsty mouths,
                      A
and thick as molasses ice cold vodka eases in as
    E 
the low pressure system brings the breezes in
         A 
and they sashay and pirouette above you
    D                          A
the only thing i know is that i love you 
                E  
and i'm holding on,
yeah
