_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I wake up in the morning in a state of fright
On the wrong side of [E] the bed all night
[A] Clinging to the broken heart [E] inside my head _ _ _ _
[F#m] I open my eyes [G#m] and I move my hand
[F#m] From round her pillow [B] to 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 [E] the 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] _ Straighten Miss _ [B] Emily's picture [E] on my wall
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
[E] _ 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] Laugh, drink beer and shoot pool and have a [E] ball
When _ _ _ _ [F#m] the laughter stops [B] and the hurting takes hold
[F#m] Reach in my pocket [B] for 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 [G#m] I turn out the light
[F#m] Straighten Miss [B] Emily's picture by [E] my bed _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Look out my window [A] and what [E] do I see?
[A] Nothing [E] but pain looking back at me
And all that my [A] future means to me
[F#m] Is tossing _ yesterday's love out into the wind _ _
_ _ _ And straighten Miss [B] Emily's picture now [E] and then _
