Intro: F5  D5  Bb5

Verse 1:

       F5
When I finally finished school

           D5                    Bb5
It was the first thing that I did

     F5                    
What every townie kid dreams of,

     D5              Bb5
I packed and started west

     F5          
A thousand dollars I had saved

       D5              Bb5
And my sister's two cassettes:

    F5
The Dead from Fillmore East

         D5                     Bb5    
And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits

Chorus:

C5           D5  Bb5
Coffee and Cigarettes

C5         D5    Bb5
As simple as it gets

C5                   D5             Bb5
Of all the things I think I'll miss,

C5      
There's staying up with you

            D5
Coffee and Cigarettes

            Bb5
Coffee and Cigarettes

Prelude: F5  D5  Bb5

Verse 2:

F5   
Then, I commit with some restraint

     D5                  Bb5
To a boy I thought might care

    F5             
It didn't work but I found out soon

    D5              Bb5
And never dug roots there

F5  
Been a lot of places since

    D5             Bb5
But nothing else compares

   F5
To easy times and easy eyes

    D5            Bb5
To meet you in a stare


Chorus:

C5           D5  Bb5
Coffee and Cigarettes

C5         D5    Bb5
As simple as it gets

C5                   D5             Bb5
Of all the things I think I'll miss,

C5      
There's staying up with you

            D5
Coffee and Cigarettes

            Bb5
Coffee and Cigarettes

Verse 3: 

       F5

           D5                    Bb5
It was the first thing that I did

     F5                    
What every townie kid dreams of,

     D5              Bb5
I packed and started west
