Intro: E  A  B

E                  A
Sun comes up, it's Tuesday morning
         B
Hits me straight in the eye
           A                             E
Guess you forgot to close the blind last night
          A        B              A
Oh that's right, I forgot, it was me


  A                               E
I sure do miss the smell of black coffee in the morning,
    A                            E
The sound of water splashing all over the bathroom,
    A                                E
The kiss that you would give me even though I was sleeping,
      B                A                           E
But I kind of like the feel of this extra few feet in my bed


E                        A
Telephone's ringing, but I don't answer it
       B                    A                E
'Cause everybody knows that good news always sleeps till noon
                   A
Guess it's tea and toast for breakfast again
  B                    A
Maybe I'll add a little T.V. too
            E
No milk!    God, how I hate that
         A                      E
Guess I'll go to the corner, get breakfast from Jenny
            A                        E
She's got a black eye this morning, "Jen how'd ya get it?"
           B           A                         E
She says, "Last night, Bobby got a little bit out of hand"


                A
Lunchtime, I start to dial your number
     B                         A
Then I remember so I reach for somebodies smoke
   E                   A
And anyways I'd rather listen to Coltrane
      B                   A
Than go through all that xxxx again
                                     E
There's something about an afternoon spent doing nothin 
     A                        E
Just listening to records and watching the sun falling
       A                      E
Thinking of things that don't have to add up to something
        B
And this spell won't be broken
        A                            E
By the sound of keys scraping in the lock


E                           A
Maybe tonight it's a movie  With plenty of room
 B
 for elbows and knees
A                        E
a bag of popcorn all to myself,
E                      A
Black and white with a strong female lead
       B                   A
And if I don't like it, no debate, I'll leave


     A                       E
Here comes that feeling that I'd forgotten
    A
How strange these streets feel
     E
when you're alone on them
     A                 E
Each pair of eyes just filled with suggestion
      B                    A
So I lower my head, make a b-line for home
         E
Seething inside


                 A
Funny, I'd never noticed
     B                   A                    E
The sound the streetcars make as they pass my window
        A                B                  A
Which reminds me that I forgot to close the blind again


                                E
Yeah, sure I'll admit there are times when I miss you
     A                          E
Especially like now when I need someone to hold me
       A                           E
But there are some things that can never be forgiven
      B
And I just gotta tell ya
         A                            E
That I kinda like this extra few feet in my bed

Solo:
   A   B   A   E
   A   B   A
   A   E

cookistlr

VERSE 1
G
Yeah, you sure broke my heart last week,
D6 D7 D6 D
When you said you had slept with him.
BRIDGE
Em Em11
I know you called,
Eb+ Eb(b5)
I got them all
G Gsus2 A Asus4 A
La da da da da da
C D6 G
Girl you better love what you got, before you go and give it away
G7
But donʼt say that I donʼt know you
CHORUS
C D6 G G7 C
Cause oh, I know all about your type
D6 G G7
Youʼre the type of girl that texts all day and talks all night.
C D6 G G7 C
And oh, I know, that you are feeling sad.
D6 C D6
I donʼt feel bad, cause even after three text messages, four missed calls,
C D6 G
You still slept with my best friend.
VERSE 2
G
Yeah, you sure got a lot of nerve,
D6 D7 D6 D
To say that this was all my fault
BRIDGE
CHORUS
MIDDLE
Em
So I sing rain, rain go away, come again another day,
Eb(b5)
When I say itʼs okay to give a little hell to pay.
C
And every single time you make your way into my sheets,
Dsus4 D
The hours move to minutes, the days turn into weeks.
Em
And I know youʼre so cool, but I must be a fool,
Eb(b5)
For taking you in and letting you win control of my heart.
C
And every single time you make your way into my sheets,
Dsus4 D
The hours move to minutes, the days turn into weeks.

is another way to play it…tho a little bit harder

XMyChemicalUnicornX

What’s the little bit at the end of ‘you still/slept with my best friend’? There’s a sort-of string-dampened bit…?

ushuaia

Any one who is wondering about the chord after “you still slept with my best friend” the G chord three times and then you bar the 12th fret and strum

doodlenoodle

I love this song! So happy I finally found it!!

Bonhulio

that last note in the song is hold all the strings on the 12th fret

JessieT

Guys guys. You don’t hold down on the fret. It’s actually a harmonic and they have a section on the ukuguides page that goes into great detail on how to play it. 🙂

BJS01

I think that +5 is much easier and fun to play.

ddandelionhands

really easy and fun to play, I learned this in around 15 minutes 🙂

Biography

Cowboy Junkies is a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band’s name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt’s song “Cowboy Junkies Lament” as the source of the band’s name
