Here is Miss Emily's picture.
[E]
I wake up in the morning in a state of pride
On the wrong side of the bed all night
[A] Clinging to the broken heart [E] inside my head
[F#m] Open my eyes [B] and I move my head
[F#m] From round her pillow [B] to the nightstand
[F#m] And straighten Miss [B] Emily's picture by my [E] bed
Go to the office, the work's piled up
Pour three fingers bourbon in my coffee cup
[A] And cry on my best friend's shoulder down the [E] hall
[F#m] Feel so lonely [B] when I close the door
[F#m] Bite my [B] nails and I walk the floor
[F#m] And straighten Miss [B] Emily's picture on [E] my wall
Look out my window [A] and what do [E] I see?
[A] Nothing [E] but pain [B] looking back at [E] me
And all that my future [A] means to [E] me
[F#m] Is tossing yesterday's love out of the wind
[C#m] [B] [F#m] And straighten Miss [B] Emily's picture [E] now and then
Leave my office and I go downtown
To a little bar we all hang around
[A] Laugh, drink beer, and shoot pool
[E] Have them all
[F#m] When the laughter stops [B] and the hurting takes hold
[F#m] Reach in my pocket [B] for my billfold
[G#m] [F#m] And show Miss [B] Emily's picture to them [E] all
I stagger in my house and I slam the [Em] door
Scatter my clothes all over the [E] floor
[A] Wishing I could do the same thing in my head
[E]
Drink a [F#m]
beer [B] and eat a bite
[F#m] And just before [B] I turn out the light
[F#m] I straighten Miss [B] Emily's picture by [E] my bed
Look out my window [A] and what do [E] I see?
[A] Nothing [E] but pain [F#m] looking back at [E] me
And all that my future [A] means to [E] me
[F#m] Is tossing yesterday's love out into the wind
And straighten Miss [B] Emily's [G#m] picture now [E] and then
[C#]
[B] [C#m] [E]
