Black Coffee In Bed Cifras

Black Coffee in Bed
by Squeeze
 
Notes:
* For a while I played the solo as Eb F G A - then a friend told me it's actually what you see below.
Play what you think sounds best. Either works.
* The A chords have lots of sus's I did not note here.
Listen for them, especially at the "lips full of passion" bits.
* Enjoy - T-bone

[VERSE]
          D           Bm                  G          D
There's a stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was
            D          Bm              G          D
And there's ash in the pages, now I've got myself lost
      D          Bm               G          D
I was writing to tell you that my feelings tonight
      D           Bm            G          D
Are a stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye
 
[CHORUS]
Bm                      F#
Now she's gone, and I'm back on the beat
  C#m                        A
A stain on my note-book says nothing to me
D                       G7
Now she's gone, and I'm out with a friend
A                         G
With lips full of passion and coffee in bed

[VERSE]
         D            Bm              G         D
With the way that you left me I could hardly contain
         D       Bm            G          D
The hurt and the anger and the joy of the pain
    D            Bm                 G          D
Now knowing I am single there'll be fire in my eyes
      D           Bm             G        D
And a stain on my notebook for a new love tonight
 
[CHORUS]

Now she's gone, and I'm back on the beat
  C#m                        A

Now she's gone, and I'm out with a friend
A                         G
With lips full of passion and coffee in bed

[VERSE]
     D            Bm             G           D
From lips without passion to the lips with a kiss

There's nothing of your love that I'll ever miss
    D           Bm               G          D
The stain on my notebook remains all that's left
       D         Bm              G         D
Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed

Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed
