I am sitting in the morning, the dining room on the corner.
I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee, and he fills it only halfway.
And before I even [F#] argue, he is looking out the window at somebody coming [A] in.
It is always nice to see you, says the man behind the counter.
Through the woman has come in, she is shaking her umbrella.
And I look the other way as [F#] they are kissing their hellos, and [F#m] I'm pretending not to see [F#] them.
I am not even looking, and instead I pour the milk.
I open the paper, there's a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking.
It was no one I had heard of.
And I'm turning to the horoscope, looking for the funnies, [A] but I'm feeling someone watching
[F#m] me, and so I raise my head.

[F#] There's a woman on the outside looking inside, does she see me?
No, she does not.
She sees her own reflection, [F#m] and I'm trying not to notice that she's pinching up her skirt.
And while she's straightening her stockings, her hair has faded.
