I'm feeling mighty lonesome
C majorC     G minorGm
Haven't slept a wink

I walk the floor & watch the door
C majorC     G minorGm
And in between I drink
C minorCm    FF
Black coffee
C minorCm    FF   C majorC  G minorGm  C majorC  G minorGm
Love's hand-me-down brew

In this weekday rule

Verse 2:
C majorC     G minorGm
I'm talking to the shadows
C majorC     G minorGm
One o'clock to four
C majorC     G minorGm
And oh how slow the moments go
C majorC     G minorGm
When all I do is pour
C minorCm    FF
Black coffee
C minorCm    FF   C majorC  G minorGm  C majorC  G minorGm
Since the blues caught my eye

My Sunday dreams to dry

Bridge:

Well, a man is born to go on lovin'

To stay home & tend her lovin'
F#F#
And drown her past regrets
FF
In coffee & cigarettes

Verse 3:
C majorC     G minorGm
Alone all the morning
C majorC     G minorGm
Mourning all the night
C majorC     G minorGm
And, in between, it's nicotine
C majorC     G minorGm
And not much heart to fight
C minorCm    FF
Black coffee
C minorCm    FF  C majorC  G minorGm  C majorC  G minorGm
Feeling low as the ground
DmDm    C majorC
It's drivin' me crazy, this waiting for my baby

To maybe come around

(repeat Bridge & Verse 3)

My hair is turning gray

All I do is drink black coffee

Since my man's gone away ..
