there's a place i go for breakfast every afternoon
Cm
the coffees rubbish and the bacons always hard to chew
G# Fm G#
and the toast is always soggy, but i hardly notice
D#
and the food takes such a long time to get made
Cm
even when i'm the only person in the cafe
G# Fm G#
and my tables always wobbly, but i hardly notice
D#
youre probably thinking why would i even bother eating there
Cm
on a daily basis theres heaps of other places on offer
G#
i wont change to another place if the bacon is rubber
Fm G#
and the taste of the cuppa makes you pull faces and splutter
D#
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
G#
a lady thats basically just a, stranger with an apron down her brother
Fm G#
i dont need to ask her name and number
D#
cause this relationship
Cm G# Fm G#
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.
