Breakfast

Bill Callahan


Tom: D

 Em              D
I can hear her out
 Em
In the kitchen
                      D
Making breakfast for me


[Verse 2]
 Em
I'm still in bed and
                         D
I can see it all in my head
                                       Em
I’ll wash the plates that just don't break
                                 D
As she lays her burden down for me


[Bridge]
  Dm          Gm
She don't eat, she don’t sleep
  Em
Why, she don't even drink
                           D
I drink so that we don't fight
  Em                              D
She don't drink so that we don't fight


[Verse 3]
  A
She hates to watch me eat
         Em
Or go hungry
                              D
Still loves me, you see


[Verse 4]
  Bm                    A
And she's been leaving like a sun tan
                 Em
Ever since the sunset began


[Outro]
  Bm                      A
And when she leaves the surgery
             Em
She leaves her watching me
                                          D
And breakfast is my favorite meal of the day
