[Verse 1]
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
I am sitting, in the morning, at the diner on the corner,
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
I am waiting, at the counter, for the man to pour the coffee,
G6G6 Fmaj7Fmaj7+11
And he fills it only halfway, and be - fore I even argue,
E minorEm B7B7
He is looking out the window at some - body coming in!
[Chorus]
EmAdd9Emadd9

Da, da, da -da, da -da! :|| [x2]
[Verse 2]
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
"It is always nice to see you!", says the man behind the counter,
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
To the woman who has come in, she is shaking her umbrella,
G6G6 Fmaj7Fmaj7+11
And I look the other way, as they are kissing their hellos,
E minorEm B7B7
And I'm pre - tending not to see them, and in - stead I pour the milk!
[Chorus]
EmAdd9Emadd9
||: Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Da, da, da -da, da -da! :|| [x2]
[Verse 3]
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
I open up the paper, there?s a story of an actor,
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
Who had died while he was drinking, it was no one I had heard of,
G6G6 Fmaj7Fmaj7+11
And I?m turning to the horoscope, and looking for the funnies,
E minorEm B7B7
When I'm feeling someone watching me, and so I raise my head!
[Chorus]
EmAdd9Emadd9
||: Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Da, da, da -da, da -da! :|| [x4]
[Verse 4]
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
There?s a woman on the outside, looking inside! Does she see me?
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
No, she does not really see me, 'cause she sees her own reflection,
G6G6 Fmaj+11
And I?m trying not to notice that she?s hitching up her skirt,
E minorEm B7B7
And while she?s straightening her stockings, her hair has gotten wet!
[Chorus]
EmAdd9Emadd9
||: Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Da, da, da -da, da -da! :|| [x4]

[Verse 5]
EmAdd9Emadd9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
Oh, ...this ...rain it will continue, through the morning,
EmAdd9Emadd9
As I?m listening to the bells of the cathedral...
Cmaj7Cmaj7 G6G6
I am thinking of your voice, and ...of ...the ...midnight picnic,
Fmaj7Fmaj7+11
Once upon a time before the rain began,
E minorEm B7B7
And I finish up my coffee, and it's time to catch the train!
[Chorus]
EmAdd9Emadd9
||: Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
Cmaj7Cmaj7 EmAdd9Emadd9
Da, da, da -da, da -da! :|| [x4] | / ||
