Sittin' in the kitchen in Ohio

They can't smell the coffee

The kitchen's on fire
G 
C

She don't see him, it's
C 
G 
as if she's gone blind
His hands are numb from
C

workin' all the time

For just one reason he sits
C 
searchin' his mind

filled with Jamaican blue

He reads the paper,
C 
G 
she tries reading his mind
Looking for her,
C

It's Sunday morning,
C 
this is their precious time
He turns the page and she

They pulled away from the church
with the convertible tapped down
D 
The white pearls were glistenin'
C 
on her wedding gown
G 
Before too long the road
C 
G 
started to wind
Then it started raining, man it was raining
C 
G 
The road kept on winding,
the top was still down
Fast asleep at the wheel,
would they crash or drown?
D 
Should've stopped for coffee,
ain't that what she'd say?
C 
He'd blame it on her somehow,
he'd find a way
D 
C 
D 
Wake up,  wake up, wake up
C 
No sweetheart, no honey,
no sugar, no cream
G 
Just a cold minute cup
that once held a dream
D 
Unsatisfied, desperate, the siren screams
C 
If they don't wake up,
G 
they're gonna drown in that cup
