Verse 1
D
I'm on my second cup
G
D
of coffee and I still can't face the day
I'm thinking of the lady
G
A
who got lost along the way
D
And if I don't stop this trembling
Em
G
hand from reaching for the phone
D
I'll be reachin' for the bottle,
A
D
Lord, before this day is done
Verse 2
D
I'm on my second cup of coffee,
G
D
I still can't face the day
The room was filled with laughs as
G

we danced the night away
D
But my sleep was filled with dreaming
Em
G
of the wrongs that I had done
D
The gentle sweet reminder of
A
a daughter and a son
D
Verse 3
G
Sitting alone,
D
my friends have all gone home
You never know when they'll
A
come droppin' in
G
Thinking of girls with their
D
fingers in my curls
Too young to understand
A
how love begins
Verse 4

I'm on my second cup of coffee,
G
D
I still can't face the dawn
G
A
The radio is playin' a soft country song
D
And if I don't stop this trembling
Em
G
hand from reaching for the phone
D
I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord,
A
D
before this day is done
