Verse 1:
Riff 1
At this kitchen table, baby
Riff 1
That we used to share
Riff 2
Shattered bits of porcelain
Riff 1
lying everywhere
Verse 2:
Riff 1
There's an aching in my shoulder, baby
Riff 1
A weakness in my grip
Riff 2
And still I raise this broken cup
Riff 1
And take another sip
Chorus:
Riff 2
Black Coffee in the morning
No sugar in that bowl
Riff 2
Black Coffee in the morning
Leaves a bitter taste
Riff 1
In the back of my soul
Riff 2 Riff 1
Verse 3:
Riff 1
Staring at these keys, baby
Riff 1
Threw at me in rage
Riff 2
One key starts the Mercury
Riff 1
The other fits this cage
Verse 4:
Riff 1
But there's one key still missing, baby
Riff 1
One we never found
Riff 2
Lost between that first kiss
Riff 1
And the last breaking sound
Chorus:
Riff 2
Black Coffee in the morning
No sugar in that bowl
Riff 2
Black Coffee in the morning
Leaves a bitter taste
Riff 1
In the back of my soul
Riff 3 Riff 1
Verse 5:
Riff 1
Well, when you got no sense of direction
Riff 1
So easy to lose your way
Riff 2
But there's no time for regretting
Riff 1
because all we got, all we got is today
Verse 6:
Riff 1
But they don't make something strong enough
Riff 1
To clean the mess I made
Riff 2
There's too much room in that old bed
Riff 1
Where you and I once laid
Verse 7:
Riff 1
You left behind your jacket, baby
Riff 1
It's hanging from a nail
Riff 2
And you left here with all the signs
Riff 1
Of a prisoner jumping bail
Chorus:
Riff 2
Black Coffee in the morning
No sugar in that bowl
Riff 2
Black Coffee in the morning
Leaves a bitter taste
Riff 1
In the back of my soul
Outro:
Riff 3 Riff 1
