Shall I make you in the morning

A cup of homemade coffee
                                      Fm
I will sweeten it with honey and with cream

When you sleep

Do you have dreams?

You can read the early paper

And I can watch you while you shave
Oh god the mirror's cracked

When you leave

Will you come back?

You don't have to answer that at all

The bathroom door is just across the hall
You'll find an extra towel on the rack
       Bb                Fm
On the paisley-patterned papered wall
          C
There's a comb on the shelf

I papered that wall myself
     Eb
That wall myself

It's just the night cuts through me like a knife (like a knife)
                                  Ab
Would you care to stay awhile and save my life?
          Eb                              Ab
Would you care to stay awhile and save my life?

I've got this funny sense of humor
