D I wake up in the morning is a state of fright On the wrong side of the bed all night G D Clinging to the broken heart Inside my head G A I open my eyes and I move my hand G A From 'round her pillow to the nightstand G A D And straighten Miss Emily's picture by my bed [Verse 2] D Go to the office; the work's piled up D Pour three fingers bourbon in my coffee cup G D Cry on my best friend's shoulder down the hall G A Feel so lonely, when I close the door G A Bite my nails and I walk the floor G A D And straighten Miss Emily's picture on my wall [Chorus] D G D Look out my window and what do I see D A D Nothing but pain looking back at me G D All that my future means to me Em G Is tossing yesterday's love out into the wind A D And straighten Miss Emily's picture now and then [Verse 3] D I leave my office and I go downtown To a little bar we all hang around G D Laugh drink beer -shoot pool and have a ball G A When the laughter stops and the hurt takes hold G A Reach in my pocket for my billfold G A D And show Miss Emily's picture to em' all [Verse 4] D I stagger in the house and I slam the door Scatter my clothes all over the floor G D Wishing I could do the same thing in my head G A Drink a beer and I eat a bite G A And just before I turn out the light G A D I straighten Miss Emily's picture by my bed [Chorus] D G D Look out my window and what do I see D A D Nothing but pain looking back at me G D All that my future means to me Em Is tossing yesterday's love out into the wind A D And straighten Miss Emily's picture now and then
