Keep drink ing cof fee, (Am)stare me (Dm)down a cross the ta ble while I look out (F)side.

So man y things I’d (Am)say if (Dm)on ly I were a ble, but I (Am)just keep qui et and count the (F)cars that (Gsus)pass by.

There’s (Gsus)no one here to save.

(Am)Who cares if you dis (F)a gree?

You are (C)not me.

Who made you king of an y thing?

So (Am)you dare tell me who to be?

Who (C)died and made you king of an (G)y (C)thing?

You sound so in no (Am)cent, all full of good in tent; swear you know (F)best.

But you ex pect me (Am)to jump up on board with you and ride (Am)off in to your de (F)lu sion al (G)sun set.
