[Verse 1]
I wDake up in the morning is a state of fright
On the wrong side of the bed all night
CliGnging to the broken heart Inside my hDead
I oEmpen my eyes and I mAove my hand
From 'rEmound her pillow to the nigAhtstand
And stEmraighten Miss Emily's pAicture by my bDed
[Verse 2]
GDo to the office; the work's piled up
Pour three fingers bourbon in my coffee cup
Cry Gon my best friend's shoulder down the hDall
FEmeel so lonely, when I cAlose the door
BEmite my nails and I wAalk the floor
And sEmtraighten Miss Emily's piActure on my wDall
[Chorus]
LDook out my window and wGhat do I sDee
NotGhing but paDin looking bAack at Dme
All that my future mGeans to Dme
Is tosEmsing yesterday's love out into the wGind
And strEmaighten Miss Emily's picAture now and tDhen
[Verse 3]
I leDave my office and I go downtown
To a little bar we all hang around
LaGugh drink beer -shoot pool and have a bDall
When the laEmughter stops and the hAurt takes hold
REmeach in my pocket for Amy billfold
And sEmhow Miss Emily's piActure to em' aDll
[Verse 4]
I sDtagger in the house and I slam the door
Scatter my clothes all over the floor
WishGing I could do the same thing in my hDead
DrEmink a beer and I eAat a bite
And jEmust before I turn oAut the light
I stEmraighten Miss Emily's pAicture by my bDed
[Chorus]
LoDok out my window and wGhat do I sDee
NotGhing but pDain looking bAack at mDe
All that my future meGans to Dme
Is tEmossing yesterday's love out into the wGind
And strEmaighten Miss Emily's piActure now and tDhen

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

I wake up in the morning is a state of fright

On the wrong side of the bed all night

G D

Clinging to the broken heart Inside my head

Em A

I open my eyes and I move my hand

Em A

From 'round her pillow to the nightstand

Em A D

And straighten Miss Emily's picture by my bed

[Verse 2]

Go to the office; the work's piled up

Pour three fingers bourbon in my coffee cup

G D

Cry on my best friend's shoulder down the hall

Em A

Feel so lonely, when I close the door

Em A

Bite my nails and I walk the floor

Em A D

And straighten Miss Emily's picture on my wall

[Chorus]

D G D

Look out my window and what do I see

G D A D

Nothing but pain looking back at me

G D

All that my future means to me

Em G

Is tossing yesterday's love out into the wind

Em A D

And straighten Miss Emily's picture now and then

[Verse 3]

I leave my office and I go downtown

To a little bar we all hang around

G D

Laugh drink beer -shoot pool and have a ball

Em A

When the laughter stops and the hurt takes hold

Em A

Reach in my pocket for my billfold

Em A D

And show Miss Emily's picture to em' all

[Verse 4]

I stagger in the house and I slam the door

Scatter my clothes all over the floor

G D

Wishing I could do the same thing in my head

Em A

Drink a beer and I eat a bite

Em A

And just before I turn out the light

Em A D

I straighten Miss Emily's picture by my bed

[Chorus]

D G D

Look out my window and what do I see

G D A D

Nothing but pain looking back at me

G D

All that my future means to me

Em G

Is tossing yesterday's love out into the wind

Em A D

And straighten Miss Emily's picture now and then
