[E] [F#m]
[A] [E]
[B] [E]
I'm on my second cup of coffee [A] and I still can't [E] face the day
I'm thinking [G#m] of the lady [A] who got lost [B] along the way
[E] And if I don't stop this trembling [F#m] hand from reaching [A] for the phone
I'll [E] be reaching for the bottle, Lord, [B] before this day [E] is done
I'm on my second cup of coffee [A] and I still can't [E] face the day
The room was filled with laughs, as you never know when they'll come [B] dropping in
Thinking [A] of girls with [E] their fingers in my curls
Too young to understand how [B] love begins
I'm on [E] my second cup of coffee [A] and I still can't [E] face the dawn
The radio is [A] playing a soft [B] country song
And [E] if I don't stop this trembling hand [F#m] from reaching [A] for the phone
[E] I'll be reaching for the bottle, [B] Lord, before this [E] day is done
[F#m]
[A] [E]
[B] [E]
[A] Sitting alone, [E] my friends have all gone home
They never were around when I [B] needed them
[A] Thinking of girls with [E] their fingers in my curls
Too young to understand how love [B] begins
I'm on [E] my second cup of coffee [A] and I still can't [E] face the day
I'm thinking of the lady [A] who got lost [B] along the way
And [E] if I don't stop this trembling hand [F#m] from reaching [A] for the phone
[E] I'll be reaching for the bottle, [B] Lord, before this [E] day is done
And if I don't stop this trembling hand [F#m] from reaching [A] for the phone
[E] I'll be reaching for the bottle, [B] Lord, before this [E] day is done
