Five Cups of Coffee
The Jayhawks
from "Blue Earth" (Twin/Tone Records, 1989)
--Verse 1--
Then I left here Athis morninGg it was just like beforeA  
You say nothing Achanges Gpassing time around hereA  
Stole a long string of Gpearls and I pawned doAwntown
Gonna buy me some good fun Gback where no one can Asee
--Chorus--
And the lDong blCack dDream is over as the snow falls on and onC  D  
And it takes fCive cuDps of coffee to calm dCown beGfore I sAleep
--Verse 2--
Let the sky soak on my clothes way back in the alley
All of the red beads mixed up in her pew
Take the chance that I left you knowing where you might lead me
So easy it is to believe in someone I never see
--Chorus--
--Break--
--Chorus--

Five Cups of Coffee

The Jayhawks

from "Blue Earth" (Twin/Tone Records, 1989)

--Verse 1--

A G A

Then I left here this morning it was just like before

A G A

You say nothing changes passing time around here

G A

Stole a long string of pearls and I pawned downtown

G A

Gonna buy me some good fun back where no one can see

--Chorus--

D C D C D

And the long black dream is over as the snow falls on and on

C D C G A

And it takes five cups of coffee to calm down before I sleep

--Verse 2--

Let the sky soak on my clothes way back in the alley

All of the red beads mixed up in her pew

Take the chance that I left you knowing where you might lead me

So easy it is to believe in someone I never see

--Chorus--

--Break--

--Chorus--
