Instant Coffee Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][G][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]He washed all the road dirt
from his [A]face and from his neck
And [C]sat down at her table and
[G]she picked up his check.
And she [D]took him home for reasons
that she [A]did not understand.
And [C]him, he had the answers
[Bm]but did [A]not play his hand.
For [G]him he knew the taste
of this [Em]wine very well.
[C]It all goes down so easily but the
[Bm]next day is [G]hell.
[D][C]

[Verse 2]
[A]
Morning [D]- "Man was I drunk,"
[A]she wispered in the shower.
While he [C]lay there and smoked his way
there [G]through the final hour.
And [D]she felt wholly empty like she'd
[A]felt it every time.
And he was [C]feelin' just the same,
[Bm]'cept he was [A]tryin' to make it rhyme.
[G]Time was of the essence so
[Em]they both did their best,
To [C]meet up in the kitchen
[Bm]feelin fully [G]dressed.
[D]She just had to go to work,
and [A]he just had to go.
And [C]she knew where and he knew
how to [G]blow it off and so.
[Em]They

[Verse 3]
[D]shot the breeze quite cavalier
to the [A]boilin' of the pot.
And [C]sang the Instant Coffee [G]Blues
an[A]d never fired a shot.

[Verse 4]
And [G]him he hit the driveway
[D]with his [Em]feelin's in [D]a case.
And [C]her she hit the stoplight
and [Bm]touched up [G]her face.
So you tell them the difference
between [Em]caring and not.
And that [C]it's all done with mirrors,
[Bm]lest they forgot.
[G]I said

[Verse 5]
it's all done with mirrors,
of [Em]which they have none.
To [C]blend the instant coffee blues
in[Bm]to the morning s[G]un

[Outro 1]
