(verse 1)
A Asus
I'm sittin' in this cafe,
A D
People talkin' so loud I can't hear myself think,
A
That's not a bad thing,
A Asus
The coffee keeps on coming,
A
The waiter who keeps smilin' as,
D
I'm ridin' on a river of caffeine,
D A
An' that's not a bad thing,
E
I used to feel sorry for someone like me,
D A
In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night,
E
I used to say, It just ain't right,
E
How could anybody ever have any fun,
D
Without somebody, without someone,
F#m D
It never dawned on me, the possibility,
A
That it's not a bad thing
(verse 2)
A Asus
Those naggin' thoughts about you,
A
How I left without you tonight,
D
You know, they're few and far between,
A Asus A
The waiter's name is Joey, he told me,
D
And that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any ring,
A

(chorus)
E
And there is a tug on the edge of my heart,
D A
It's you again sayin ,Don't you start lettin' go of me,
E
But I ain't listenin,
E
For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel,
D F#m
Let it be, let it be real, let it flow through me,

An' wash me clean, that's not a bad thing,

As I'm drivin' home, I'm thinkin, the worst might be over,
D
Or maybe I'm a little bit naive,
A Asus
But the street lights seem brighter,
A
As I walk to my front door,
(no chord) D
And I'm all alone when I turn the key,
A
An' that's not a bad thing,
(chorus)
