C 
I'm sitting at the counter, in the terminal cafe 
 
That Greyhound bound for Tulsa is still half an hour away 
                                        C 
It's a little slice of life I think I'd just as soon forget 
G                     F            C 
Seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes 
 
C 
The people see right through me, if they see my face at all 
 
I'm a shadow in the corner, I'm a fly upon the wall 
    F                                 C 
I'm not the kind of guy you'd like to say you'd ever met 
G                     F            C 
Seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes 
 
          G                                F              C 
And I got ten or twelve good reasons why I live the way I do 
   D                               G 
If you like real sad stories I can tell you one or two 
C 
It makes no difference where you go once love has gone away 
 
And there's another bus to somewhere every hour, every day 
    F                                     C 
I'm just waiting for the pain to stop but that ain't happened yet 
G                     F            C 
Seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes 
 
(Solo) G  F C}x2 
 
           G                                F              C 
Yeah I got ten or twelve good reasons why I live the way I do 
   D                               G 
If you like real sad stories I can tell you one or two 
C 
It makes no difference where you go once love has gone away 
 
And there's another bus to somewhere every hour, every day 
   F                            C 
It seems that lately this is as good as it ever gets 
G                     F            C 
Seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes 
    G                     F            C 
Hey seven cups of coffee, fourteen cigarettes
