The     morning rains the     same old     way 
     Gm                    C7                 G7           Gm13

    She was going to     leave any -     way 
     Gm               C7            G7            Gm13                            
But     love is such     sweet po -     liteness 
          Cadd4                F                  G5                           
Till you        see it in the     cruel light of      day 


      C7                     C7sus4                                           
Last      night was just a          comedy 
      C7                   C7sus4                  Gm      Gm

      C7                  C7sus4                                             
And      it was right in          front of me 
      C7                     C7sus4                     Dm7      Dm7

    Gm               C7                G7         Gm13                            
So     pour me an -      other cup of     coffee 
         Gm                C7                G7        Gm13                        
I ain't     ever seen the     city look so      grey 
           Gm                 C7                   G7          Gm13               
And those      pretty little      diamonds in the     darkness 
         Cadd4                F                  G5                            
Ain't no       jewels in the     cruel light of      day

She can      slip off from her         back and just fold a -     way 
         C7                    C7sus4
