[Intro]
D A7 C A7
[Verse 1]
D
He washed all the road dirt
A7
From his face and from his neck
C
And sat down at her table
G
And she picked up his check
D
And she took him home for reasons
A7
That she did not understand
C
And him, he had the answers
A7
But did not show his hand
[Chorus 1]
G F#/G Em Em7
Cause him he knew the taste of this wine very well
C Bm G
It all goes down so easy but the next day is hell
[Instrumental]
D A7 C A7
[Verse 2]
Mornin'
D
"Man was I drunk,"
A7
She whispered in the shower
C
While he lay there and smoked his way there
G
Through the final hour
D
And she felt wholly Empty
A7
Like she'd felt it every time
C
And he was feeling just the same
A7
Except he's trying to make it rhyme
[Chorus 2]
G F#/G Em Em7
Time was of the essence so they both did their best
C Bm G
To meet up in the kitchen feeling fully dressed
[Verse 3]
D
She just had to go to work
A7
And he just had to go
C
And she knew where and he knew how
G
To blow it off and so
D
They shot the breeze quite cavalier
A7
To the boiling of the pot
C
And sang the Instant Coffee Blues
A7
And never fired a shot
[Chorus 3]
G F#/G Em Em7
And him he hit the driveway with his feelings in a case
C Bm G
And her she hit the stop light and touched up her face
G F#/G Em Em7
So you tell thEm the difference between caring and not
C Bm G
And that it's all done with mirrors, lest they forgot
G F#/G Em Em7
I said it's all done with mirrors, of which they have none
C Bm G
To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun
[Outro]
D A7 C G
