Seven Cups of Coffee, Fourteen Cigarettes
written by: Cornell Hurd/J. Dickens

Intro: G F C

C
I'm sitting at the counter, in the terminal cafe

That Greyhound bound for Tulsa is still half an hour away
C
It's a little slice of life I think I'd just as soon forget
G F C
Seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes

C
The people see right through me, if they see my face at all

I'm a shadow in the corner, I'm a fly upon the wall
F C
I'm not the kind of guy you'd like to say you'd ever met
G F C
Seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes

G F C
And I got ten or twelve good reasons why I live the way I do
D G
If you like real sad stories I can tell you one or two
C
It makes no difference where you go once love has gone away

And there's another bus to somewhere every hour, every day
F C
I'm just waiting for the pain to stop but that ain't happened yet
G F C
Seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes

(Solo) {G F C}x2

G F C
Yeah I got ten or twelve good reasons why I live the way I do
D G
If you like real sad stories I can tell you one or two
C
It makes no difference where you go once love has gone away

And there's another bus to somewhere every hour, every day
F C
It seems that lately this is as good as it ever gets
G F C
Seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes
G F C
Hey seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes
