THANKS, ROGER


CAPO 2ND FRET

VERSE 1:

(D) I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH A STAGE OF FRIGHT

ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED ALL NIGHT

(G) CLINGING TO THE BROKEN HEART INSIDE MY HEAD (D)

OPEN MY EYES AND I (A) MOVE MY HAND

TO AROUND HER PILLOW TO THE NIGHT STAND

AND STRAIGHTEN MISS EMILY'S PICTURE BY MY (D) BED



(D) GO TO THE OFFICE AND THE WORKS PILED UP

POUR THREE FINGERS BURBOUN IN MY COFFEE CUP

(G) AND CRY ON MY BEST FRIENDS SHOULDER DOWN THE HALL (D)

I FEEL SO LONELY WHEN I (A) CLOSE THE DOOR

BITE MY NAILS AND I WALK THE FLOOR

AND STRAIGHTEN MISS EMILY'S PICTURE ON MY (D) WALL


CHORUS:

(D) LOOK OUT MY WINDOW AND WHAT DO I SEE

NOTHING BUT PAIN LOOKING (A) BACK AT ME

(D) AND ALL THAT MY FUTURE MEANS TO ME

IS (G) TOSSING YESTERDAYS (A) LOVE OUT INTO THE WIND

AND STRAIGHTEN MISS EMILY'S PICTURE NOW AND (D) THEN


VERSE 2

(D) LEAVE MY OFFICE AND I GO DOWNTOWN

TO A LITTLE BAR WE ALL HANG AROUND

(G) LAUGH AND DRINK BEER, SHOOT POOL AND HAVE A BALL (D)

WHEN THE LAUGHING STOPS AND THE (A) HURTIN TAKE HOLD

REACH IN MY POCKET FOR MY BILLFOLD

AND SHOW MISS EMILY'S PICTURE TO THEM (D)ALL


(D) I STAGGER IN MY HOUSE AND I SLAM THE DOOR

SCATTER MY CLOTHES ALL OVER THE FLOOR

(G) WISHING I COULD DO THE SAME THING IN MY HEAD (D)

DRINK A BEER AND (A) EAT A BITE

AND JUST BEFORE I TURN OUT THE LIGHT

I STRAIGHTEN MISS EMILY'S PICTURE BY MY (D) BED


CHORUS
