Lyrics

[Intro]
Amaj7 A6add9 Amaj7 A6add9
Amaj7 A6add9 Amaj7 A6add9
Amaj7 A6add9 Amaj7 A6add9
Amaj7
A6add9
     Amaj7
I am sitting

[Verse 1]
In the morning
       A6add9
At the diner
On the corner
     Amaj7
I am waiting
At the counter
        A6add9
For the man   
To pour the coffee
       Amaj7
And he fills it
Only halfway
      A6add9
And before  
I even argue
      Amaj7
He is looking
Out the window
       A6add9
At somebody
Coming in

[Chorus]
Amaj7 A6add9 Amaj7 A6add9
       Amaj7
"It is always

[Verse 2]
Nice to see you"
         A6add9
Says the man   
Behind the counter
       Amaj7
To the woman
Who has come in
       A6add9
She is shaking
Her umbrella
      Amaj7
And I look 
The other way
            A6add9
As they are kissing
Their hellos
       Amaj7
I'm pretending
Not to see them
       A6add9
And Instead  
I pour the milk

[Chorus]
                 | Amaj7 | A6add9 |
| Amaj7 | A6add9 |

[Verse 3]
  Amaj7
I open
Up the paper
          A6add9
There's a story
Of an actor
        Amaj7
Who had died 
While he was drinking
       A6add9
He was no    one
I had heard of
        Amaj7
And I'm turning
To the horoscope
    A6add9
And looking
For the funnies
         Amaj7
When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
    A6add9
And so    
I raise my head

[Chorus]
Amaj7 A6add9 Amaj7 A6add9
Amaj7 A6add9 Amaj7
A6add9
Amaj7            A6add9
     There's a woman

[Verse 4]
On the outside
        Amaj7
Looking inside
Does she see me?
           A6add9
No she does      not
Really see me
          Amaj7
Cause she sees 
Her own reflection
        A6add9
And I'm trying
Not to notice
           Amaj7
That she's hitching
Up her skirt
And while she's
A6add9
Straightening her stockings
    Amaj7
Her hair 
Is getting wet

[Chorus]
A6add9 Amaj7 A6add9 Amaj7
A6add9 Amaj7         A6add9
            Oh, this rain  

[Verse 5]
It will continue
            Amaj7
Through the morning
As I'm listening
       A6add9
To the bells 
                Amaj7
Of the cathedral
A6add9    Amaj7
      I am     thinking
             A6add9
Of your voice

[Chorus]
| Amaj7 | A6add9 | Amaj7 | A6add9 |
| Amaj7 | A6add9 | Amaj7 | A6add9 |

[Outro]
