I walk the floor & watch the door
C         Gm
And in between I drink

Love's hand—me—down brew

In this weekday rule

I'm talking to the shadows
C         Gm
One o'clock to four

C          Gm
When all I do is pour 
Cm        F
Black coffee

To stay home & tend her lovin'

In coffee & cigarettes

Verse 3: 
C         Gm
Alone all the morning
C         Gm
Mourning all the night

And not much heart to fight
Cm        F
Black coffee
Cm        F    C   Gm    C   Gm
Feeling low as the ground
Dm        C
It's drivin' me crazy, this waiting for my baby

To maybe come around

All I do is drink black coffee
