Verse 1:
     Emadd9                          Cmaj7
I am sitting, in the morning, at the diner on the corner,
     Emadd9                           Cmaj7
I am waiting, at the counter, for the man to pour the coffee,
       G6                              Fmaj7   
And he fills it only halfway, and be - fore I even argue,
      Em                               B7
He is looking out the window at some - body coming in

Chorus -x2-:
            Emadd9
    Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
    Cmaj7
    Da, da, da -da, da -da!

Verse 2:
       Emadd9                             Cmaj7
"It is always nice to see you!", says the man behind the counter,
       Emadd9                        Cmaj7
To the woman who has come in, she is shaking her umbrella,
      G6                              Fmaj7   
And I look the other way, as they are kissing their hellos,
              Em
And I'm pre - tending not to see them,
         B7
And in - stead I pour the milk

Chorus -x2-:
            Emadd9
    Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
    Cmaj7
    Da, da, da -da, da -da!

Verse 3:
  Emadd9                       Cmaj7
I open up the paper, there’s a story of an actor,
        Emadd9                             Cmaj7
Who had died while he was drinking, it was no one I had heard of,
        G6                            Fmaj7   
And I’m turning to the horoscope, and looking for the funnies,
         Em                               B7
When I'm feeling someone watching me, and so I raise my head

Chorus -x2-:
            Emadd9
    Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
    Cmaj7
    Da, da, da -da, da -da!

Verse 4:
          Emadd9                        Cmaj7
There’s a woman on the outside, looking inside!  Does she see me?
        Emadd9
No, she does not really see me,
           Cmaj7
'Cause she sees her own reflection,
        G6                              Fmaj7   
And I’m trying not to notice that she’s hitching up her skirt,
                Em
And while she’s straightening her stockings,
    B7
Her hair has gotten wet

Chorus -x2-:
            Emadd9
    Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
    Cmaj7
    Da, da, da -da, da -da!

Interlude -x2-: Emadd9 Cmaj7

Verse 5:
               Emadd9                            Cmaj7
Oh, ...this ...rain it will continue through the morning,
                        Emadd9
As I’m listening to the bells of the cathedral,
     Cmaj7                                       G6
I am thinking of your voice, and ...of ...the ...midnight picnic,
            Fmaj7   
Once upon a time before the rain began,
      Em                            B7
And I finish up my coffee, and it's time to catch the train!

Chorus -x2-:
            Emadd9
    Da -da! Da, da, da -da! Da, da, da -da!
    Cmaj7                    Emadd9
    Da, da, da -da, da -da!
