[Em] walked [Bm] into a [Em] diner and the blonde behind the counter
She [A] asked if [Bm] she could [Em] help them anywhere
Hell, [A] I knew by her smile the number I could dial
[Em] I was [Ab] in the [Em] need of company
I [B] asked her for some Java

You know it takes a lot just to get me up
Cost [A] me me more than you can pay
[E] What good is money compared [Em] to what I'm paying
