Tom's Diner(Chords)

	        Do do do do... 

/ Em - / C - / : 

I am 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 

   / G - / Dm6 - / Em - / B7 - / 

Do do do do... 

'It is always nice to see you' 
Says the man behind the counter 
To the woman who has come in 
She is shaking her umbrella 

   And I look the other way 
   As they are kissing their hellos 
   And I'm pretending not to see them 
   And instead I pour the milk 

Do do do do... 

I 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 

   And I'm turning to the horoscope 
   And looking for the funnies 
   When I'm feeling someone watching me 
   And so I raise my head 

Do do do do... 

There's a woman on the outside 
Looking inside, does she see me 
No she does not really see me 
'Cause she sees her own reflection 

   And I'm trying not to notice 
   That she's hitching up her skirt 
   And while she's straightening her stockings 
   Her hair has gotten wet 

Do do do do... 

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

Do do do do...
