SODA MACHINE Fred Eaglesmith
(Key of E, played from open C position with capo at the 4th fret)
[C] [Am] [F] [G]
Well the [C]cans on the sidewalk, [Am]they ain't worth kicking
The [F]street lights are broke up, but [G]they keep on flickering
[C]Step on a crack, she [Am]ain't coming back
[F]Even a blind man could [G]likely see that.
And [C]these streets are empty, ex[Am]cept for the dark
And they've [F]locked up the gates and [G]closed down the parks
And the [C]soda machine, at [Am]Charlotte and Queen is as [F]empty [G]as my [C]heart.
And the lights of the diner, even seem brighter
When she's not there to turn down the shine
She was right all along, the coffee's too strong
But I wouldn't need any if she was still mine.
And they've bandaged the windows, stolen the cars
The hookers on main street don't care who you are
And the soda machine, at Charlotte and Queen is as empty as my heart.
Well I banged and I kicked it, on the front and the side
And I checked to make sure if my change was right
But I wasn't that thirsty, and I wasn't that smart
'Cause the next thing you know it was broken in parts
And the soda machine, at Charlotte and Queen is as empty as my heart.
