D                                   G                    D
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day
D                  F#m          G              A
I'm thinking of the lady who got lost along the way
       D                                   Em               G 
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
       D                                A               D
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done  

D                                   G                    D
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day
D                         F#m        G                 A
The room was filled with laughs as we danced the night away
       D                                 A                      G
But my sleep was filled with dreaming of the wrongs that I have done
       D                                A         D  
And the gentle sweet reminder of a daughter and a son

G                 D
Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home
                                         A 
You never know when they'll come dropping in
G                           D 
Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls
                                   A
Too young to understand how love begins

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

G                 D
Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home
                                         A 
You never know when they'll come dropping in
G                           D 
Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls
                                   A
Too young to understand how love begins

D                                   G                    D
I'm on my second cup of Coffee and I still can't face the day
D                  F#m          G              A
I'm thinking of the lady who got lost along the way
       D                                   Em               G 
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
       D                 G               A               D
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done  
 D                                   Em               G 
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
       D                  G              A               D
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done
