Jimmy Eat World - Coffee And Cigarettes

Standard Tuning

Intro: F  Dm  Bb

Verse 1:

       F
When I finally finished school

           Dm                    Bb
It was the first thing that I did

     F                    
What every townie kid dreams of,

     Dm              Bb
I packed and started west

     F          
A thousand dollars I had saved

       Dm              Bb
And my sister's two cassettes:

    F
The Dead from Fillmore East

         Dm                     Bb    
And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits

Chorus:

C           Dm  Bb
Coffee and Cigarettes

C         Dm    Bb
As simple as it gets

C                   Dm             Bb
Of all the things I think I'll miss,

C      
There's staying up with you

            Dm
Coffee and Cigarettes

            Bb
Coffee and Cigarettes

Prelude: F  Dm  Bb

Verse 2:

F   
Then, I commit with some restraint

     Dm                  Bb
To a boy I thought might care

    F             
It didn't work but I found out soon

    Dm              Bb
And never dug roots there

F  
Been a lot of places since

    Dm             Bb
But nothing else compares

   F
To easy times and easy eyes

    Dm            Bb
To meet you in a stare


Chorus:

C           Dm  Bb
Coffee and Cigarettes

C         Dm    Bb
As simple as it gets

C                   Dm             Bb
Of all the things I think I'll miss,

C      
There's staying up with you

            Dm
Coffee and Cigarettes

            Bb
Coffee and Cigarettes

Solo: Bb, F, Bb, F, Dm, Bb, F, Dm, Bb, C, F

Verse 3: 

       F
When I finally finished school

           Dm                    Bb
It was the first thing that I did

     F                    
What every townie kid dreams of,

     Dm              Bb
I packed and started west
