[Verse 1]
I am [Dm]sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in

[Chorus 1]
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Verse 2]
"It is [Dm]always nice to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella
[Am]And I look[Dm] the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
And [Am]I'm pret[Dm]ending not to see them
And instead I pour the milk

[Chorus 2]
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Verse 3]
I [Dm]open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
[Am]And I'm turn[Dm]ing to the horoscope
[Am]And look[Dm]ing for the funnies
[Am]When I'm feeli[Dm]ng someone watching me[Am]
And [Dm]so I raise my head

[Chorus 3]
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 4]
There's a [Dm]woman on the outside
Looking inside, does she see me?
No, she does not really see me
'Cause she sees her own reflection
[Am]And I'm tryi[Dm]ng not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
[Am]And while she's [Dm]straightening her stockings
Her hair has gotten wet

[Chorus 4]
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
[Dm][Dm]

[Verse 5]
Oh, this [Dm]rain, it will continue
Through the morning, as I'm listening
To the bells of the [Dm]cathedral
I am thinking of your [Dm]voice

[Chorus 5]
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [F]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo- [Dm]doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
[Repeat and fade]
