Cup Of Tea

John Phillips


Tom: Dm

Am              Dm  G                              C 
Invisible company, a house of smoke and stale perfume
Am                            Dm   G                                 C
She makes her seventh cup of tea, I stalk desperately from room to room
Am                       Dm     G                         C
Like two strangers on a train, neither one will hardly speak
Am                Dm             G                              C       C7
I dreamt a dream of old Havana, she played the blues upon my grand piano
Chorus:
F   G          C     G         Am       Dm        A7 
You skyjack my soul, hijack my screams, kidnap my baby, so handsome 
       F         G        C       G      Am       
You’ve stolen my bank (?) million dollar dreams
  Dm         G            C
Demanding my life as your ransom

Stamped her foot, clinched her fist, closed her  face and slashed her wrist
I pretend (?), the little (?) bee around my lotus
Which that we could travel more, life’s become a bloody bore
It would be so nice to everyone, we’ve never been on holiday
