Eb-Cm-Ab-Fm-Ab

Eb
there's a place i go for breakfast every afternoon
Cm
the coffees rubbish and the bacons always hard to chew
Ab                                         Fm             Ab
and the toast is always soggy, but i hardly notice
Eb
and the food takes such a long time to get made
Cm
even when i'm the only person in the cafe
Ab                                         Fm              Ab
and my tables always wobbly, but i hardly notice

Eb
youre probably thinking why would i even bother eating there
Cm
on a daily basis theres heaps of other places on offer
Ab
i wont change to another place if the bacon is rubber
            Fm                                              Ab
and the taste of the cuppa makes you pull faces and splutter
          Eb
its the waitress i love her, the way she clears plates with a clutter
                Cm
makes my heart race and a flutter i know its crazy to lover her
   Ab
a lady thats basically just a, stranger with an apron down her brother
          Fm                   Ab
i dont need to ask her name and number 
          Eb
cause this relationship
   Cm                      Ab                                           Fm    Ab
is built on breakfast, im waitin on her just to wait on me, yeah

there's a place i go for breakfast every afternoon
the coffees rubbish and the bacons always hard to chew
and the toast is always soggy, but i hardly notice
and the food takes such a long time to get made
even when i'm the only person in the cafe
and my tables always wobbly, but i hardly notice

she says hi to me bye to me thatl be 5.95 to me but i dont really mind
thats alright with me i just smile and eat
sometimes we mightn't speak for like a week
she knows in my quiet times i like to be alone
and write a poem with my headphones
newspaper bacon fried or poached egg and a slice of toast, a long black, but
the beans are always burnt
and if the cup is dirty she just cleans it with her shirt
i wonder if shes my ideal girl and what would happen if we dated in the real world
'nah' i dont think it would work i wouldnt wanna risk what we have and have to tip cause of that
besides, this relationship is built on breakfast
im waitin on her just to wait on me

there's a place i go for breakfast every afternoon
the coffees rubbish and the bacons always hard to chew
and the toast is always soggy, but i hardly notice
and the food takes such a long time to get made
even when i'm the only person in the cafe
and my tables always wobbly, but i hardly notice

and it dont matter that the bacon i eats cold and its ok the newpapers are weeks old
but i dont mind no its fine cause shes all that im there for X2 

 there's a place i go for breakfast every afternoon
the coffees rubbish and the bacons always hard to chew
and the toast is always soggy, but i hardly notice
and the food takes such a long time to get made
even when i'm the only person in the cafe
and my tables always wobbly, but i hardly notice


Hope that helps. HY.
