Second Cup Of Coffee Tab

by Gordon Lightfoot


Capo on 2nd fret

                                                       
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day
                                          
I'm thinking of the lady who got lost along the way
                                                          
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
                                                      
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done  

                                                       
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day
                                                  
The room was filled with laughs as we danced the night away
                                                           
But my sleep was filled with dreaming of the wrongs that I have done
                                                  
And the gentle sweet reminder of a daughter and a son

                 
Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home
                                          
You never know when they'll come dropping in
                            
Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls
                                   
Too young to understand how love begins

                                                        
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the dawn
                                        
        The radio is playing a soft country song
                                                           
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
                                                           
    I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done 

                 
Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home
                                      
They never were around when I needed them
                            
Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls
                                   
Too young to understand how love begins

                                                       
I'm on my second cup of Coffee and I still can't face the day
                                          
I'm thinking of the lady who got lost along the way
                                                          
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
                                                      
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done  
                                                    
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
                                                      
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done
