Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) Holdin' on till the
mornin' comes,
holdin' the mug between two thumbs
I'm (C major) gonna pay for this coffee
with some awful (G major) nerves
Writing the same old lines again,
using a borrowed ballpoint pen
The poet (C major) knows he gets
the poem he de (G major) serves
But poems (D major) written with
a borrowed pen
Won't bring (C major) you back to me again,
oh (G major) darling
I'm stuck here for the rest (C major) of my life,
oh darling (G major)
It's so (D major) hard without you day
by day by day (G major)
Thinking about the best of times
Didn't we hear the midnight chimes?
(C major) Didn't we grow together?
Didn't we (G major) have it all?
Sometimes life can seem insane
You woke up in a little pain
Next (C major) thing the head nurse wakes me
With a (G major) midnight call
And poems (D major) written with a
borrowed pen
Won't (C major) bring you back to me again,
oh darling (G major)
I'm stuck here (D major) for the rest (C major) of my life,
oh (G major) darlin'
It's so (D major) hard when that's a day
by day by day (G major)
A hun (C major) dred times a day
I do famil (G major) iar things
I start (C major) to read the paper
and the (G major) telephone ring (D major) s
I listen (C major) for your footsteps
wondering who (G major) it can be
Then the (D major) pain comes down
like a blanket
There's no one here but me
There's no one here but me
Reading (G major) the papers through again
Trouble for the president's men
Revolutions (C major) out there shaking
the (G major) old regimes
Spillin' coffee on the table top
I (D major) know these tears have got (G major) to stop
I (C major) know they see me as a man
who (G major) lives in his dreams
But come (D major) what may the borrowed pen
Won't (C major) bring you back to me again,
oh darling (G major)
I'm stuck here for the rest (C major) of my life,
oh darling (G major)
It's so (D major) hard when that's a day
by day by day (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
A hun (C major) dred times a day
I do famili (G major) ar things
I start (C major) to read the paper
and the (G major) telephone ring (D major) s
I listen (C major) for your footsteps
wondering who (G major) it can be
Then the (D major) pain comes down
like a blanket,
there's no one here but me
There's no one here but me
(G major) Holdin' on till the morning comes
Holdin' the (D major) mug between (G major) two thumbs
I'm (C major) gonna pay for this coffee
with some aw (G major) ful nerves
Writing the same old lines again
Using (D major) a borrowed ballpoint (G major) pen
The po (C major) et mostly gets
the poem he (G major) deserves
But (D major) poems written with
a borrowed pen
Won't (C major) bring you back to me again,
oh darling (G major)
I'm stuck here for the rest (C major) of my life
Oh (G major) darling,
it's so (D major) hard without you
day by day by day
(G major) It's so (D major) hard without you
day by day by day (G major) you
