Verse 1:
[C]I?m feelin[Gm]g mighty lonesome

[F]My Sunday d[G]reams to[C] dry[Gm][C][Gm]

Bridge:
[F]Well, a man[Cm] is born to go on lovin?

[F#]And drown her past regrets
[F]In coffee & cigarettes

Verse 3:
[C]Alone all [Gm]the morning
[C]Mourning a[Gm]ll the night
[C]And, in be[Gm]tween, it?s nicotine
[C]And not mu[Gm]ch heart to fight
[Cm]Black coff[F]ee
[Cm]Feeling lo[F]w as [C]the [Gm]ground[C][Gm]
[Dm]It?s drivi[C]n? me crazy, this waiting for my baby
[F]To maybe c[G]ome a[C]round[Gm][C][Gm]
