Chords for John Conlee ~ Miss Emily's Picture

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I wake up in the morning in a state of fright
On the wrong side of the bed all night
_ [A] Clinging to the broken _ [E] heart inside [C#m] my head
[E] I _ _
_ [F#m] open my [B] eyes and I move my hand
[F#m] From round her pillow to [B] the nightstand
[F#m] And straighten Miss _ [B] Emily's picture by [E] my 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] I feel so lonely when [B] I close the door _
[F#m] Bite my nails and [B] 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 but [E] 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 into the wind _ _ _ _ _
And straighten Miss [B] Emily's picture now [E] and then _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Leave my office and I go downtown _
To a little bar we all hang around _
[A] [F#m] Laugh, drink beer and [A] shoot [F#m] pool and have a [E] ball _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] When the laughter stops and [B] the hurting takes hold
[F#m] Reach in my pocket for [B] my billfold
[F#m] Show Miss _ [B] Emily's picture to them [E] all _ _ _ _ _ _
I stagger in the house and I slam the door _
Scatter my clothes all over the floor
[A] Wishing I could do the same thing in [E] my head _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] Drink a beer and [B] I eat a bite _
[F#m] And just before I [B] turn out the [G#m] light
[F#m] Straighten Miss _ [B] Emily's picture by my [E] bed _ _ _ _ _ _
Look out my window [A] and what do I [E] see?
[A] Nothing but [E] 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 into the wind
And _ _ _ _ straighten Miss _ [B] Emily's picture now and [E] then _ _ _ _ _ _
