E E7 E E7 E E7 E
[Verse]
E
Cold coffee and a couple of bucks
Am
Come the morning commute
F C
I collect myself
C G C G
As I collect my change
E
Just south of Fordham station
Am
I locked eyes with a stranger
F C
Shunned my gaze
C G C G
but shared my pain
(little jump to G# before chorus)
[Chorus]
Am D
I can't wake another morning
Am D G
Just to make it one more day or two
G C C/B Am G
Can you help me get my head on straight just a half an inch
F C
so I can muddle on through
C C/B Am G
Help me get my head on straight just a half an inch
F C
so I can muddle on through
[Verse 2]
E
I walked the shining staircase
Am
Tooth colored cascade
F C
And count the ways
C G C G
that I intersect
E
Daylight and dollar signs
Am
and soft depression
F C
The pastel shades
C G C G
My face refelcts
[Chorus]
Am D
I can't wake another morning
Am D G
Just to make it one more day or two
G C C/B Am G
Can you help me get my head on straight just a half an inch
F C
so I can muddle on through
C C/B Am G
Help me get my head on straight just a half an inch
F C
so I can muddle on through
[Bridge]
Am C
My dear, I fear
F C
I have to concede
Am C F C
I might, I might, I might not succeed
Bb C
Bb C G
