[G#m] [Fm]
[C#]
[D] [G#] [C#]
[D] [C#] I'm [C#m] feeling mighty [D] lonesome, [C#] haven't [D] slept a wink.
[C#m] I walk the [D] floor and watch the door, [C#m] and in between [G] I drink [F#] black coffee.
Love's a hand-me [C#]-down broom.
[D]
I'll [C#m] [A#]
[D#] never know a Sunday [C#] in this [C#m] weekday [D] room.
[G#] [C#m] [D]
[C#m] I'm talking to [D] the shadows, [C#m] one o'clock [D] to four, [C#] and [E] Lord how [D] slow the moments go [C#] when
[C#m] all I do [G] is pour.
I've had [F#] black [C#m] coffee
[F#] since the blues [G#] caught my eye.
[Fm] [E]
[D#m] I'm hanging out on Monday, [D#] [G#] my Sunday [C#m] dreams too dry.
[D] [C#]
Now [F#m] a man is born to [G#] go [C#m] all oven, a [B] woman's born to weep [C#] and fret, [F#] [F] and [Em] stay at [D#] home to
tend [D] her oven, [D] [Em] and drown her past [A] regrets [B] in coffee and [Dm] cigarettes.
[C#] I'm moaning all [D] the morning, [C#]
mourning [D] all the night, and [C#m] in between [Dm] it's nicotine [C#]
and
not much [G#m] heart to find.
[A#]
[F#] Coffee, feeling low [C#m] as the ground.
[Dm]
[C#] It's driving me [Bm] crazy, [D#m] just waiting for my baby [G#] to maybe come.
[C#m] [G#] [C#] [D]
[C#m] [Dm]
[C#] [C#m] [G#]
