[Verse]
C Cmaj7 F6
The coffee is on the counter, the morning sun still sleeps
C Cmaj7 F6
I went out alone to ponder in the black summer heat
C Cmaj7 F6
Sat down in my daddy's rocker to sway through the memories
C Cmaj7 F6 F
Of back when I was younger before the coffee stained my teeth
G C Cmaj7 F6
Before the coffee stained my teeth
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 F6
My daddy raised a fighter but I can't identify a foe
C Cmaj7 F6
The devil and I conspire to make sure I never know
C Cmaj7 F6
Sometimes I stare in the fire and swing at every shadow
C Cmaj7 F6 F
I guess I've always had some style I just never found my show
G C Cmaj7 F6
I guess I never found my show
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 F6
I've been a holy preacher with heavenly experience
C Cmaj7 F6
I've been teenage anger I couldn't properly express
C Cmaj7 F6
I've been a rock n roll singer screaming for another chance
C Cmaj7 F6 F
Some will call me a sinner but to me there was no difference
G C Cmaj7 F6
No there was no difference
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 F6
The coffee is on the counter now I done lost track of time
C Cmaj7 F6
Its been cooling for an hour man, I must be losing my mind
C Cmaj7 F6
I'll crawl to the shower and dig down deep to find
C Cmaj7 F6 F
Some feeling that isn't sour, i'll try to forget all these lines
G C Cmaj7 F6 C
I'll try to forget all these lines
