G
Well all the dirty old men are eyin' her
C
I'm no better in the corner spyin' her
G
She bends over to pick up a rag
    C
She walks my way and I can barely say
    D         C       G
Now Emily you look so nice
     D                        C        G
Well Emily you better bring a glass of ice
D                      C                  D
Emily I don't know how much of this I can take
N/C        G
I shiver I shake


I make some stupid joke about the menu
You know how it gets so clumsy when you
Try to think out the next thing to say
But she doesn't notice and laughs anyway
Now Emily I don't wanna cause a scene
Emily you're the best I've ever seen
Well Emily I don't wanna be another coffee break
I shiver I shake


BRIDGE:
      Em                  C
These lines you must have heard them all
Em                         C
Everyone's lined up at the waitress call
     Em               C        D      G
Well Emily you got me climbin' up the walls


SOLO: Em  C   Em   C  Em  C  D  G


Well Emily smiles and goes on with her work
The next remark from the next drunken jerk
The same sweet smile the same hearthrob
You know the whole damn act's just part of the job
Now Emily I'm sorry about the ketchup drip
Well Emily I'm sorry about the lousy tip
Emily I guess tonight I'll lay awake
And shiver and shake


BRIDGE:
         Em                   C
Will you think of me when I'm out the door
         Em                      C
Will you think of me when you're on the floor
         Em             C
Will you think of me oh anymore
G
Emily!
G
Emily!
G
Emily!
G         D  G
Emily!
