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 Fmaj#11
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

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 Fmaj#11
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]

[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 Fmaj#11
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]

[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 Fmaj#11
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]

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
Fmaj#11
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]
