Black Coffee

Mal Blum


Tom: F#m

D
Black coffee early in the morning
A
Wake up tangled in your arms
E
I do not mean to cause alarm
F#m
But I could never give you more
D
Than this 'cause this is all I got
A
Another fucked up caveat
E
I got so high that I forgot
F#m                      D A E
That I'm no better than I seem

[Verse 2]
D
Some words I'll never try to say
A
How I loved you more and more each day
E
The way you sway your hips as you put
F#m
Your favorite records on but me
D
I even hate the way I breathe
A
I hate the grass I hate the trees
E
The way my hair blows in the breeze
F# B                  D   A  E E
Whatever isn't cruel to me

[Chorus]
D         E             A
Double my meds and stay in bed
F#m           E
I can't feel anything again
D         A                 E
My face, my arms, my common sense
D       E
I never should've let you in but
F#m      E           B
Now is now and then is then
A                        E
Who could it really hurt again
             D    A   E
Who could it hurt

[Verse 3]
D
Black coffee early in the morning
A
Wake up tangled up alone
E
I do not mean to cause alarm
F#m
In fact most days it's preferable
D
'Cause this is all that I have got
A
I'm trying not to fuck it up
E                     F# E C#
I'm trying not to get stuck
