F G Em Am And has it really come to this? Can ignorance be bliss? G Em Am I’m waiting for - the other shoe to drop Am6 Fmaj7 E7 Am Jazz at the bookstore and Blues in the coffee shop Am6 Fmaj7 E7 Am | Am | Am | Jazz at the bookstore and Blues in the coffee shop Am G There’s a man standing at the crossroads with a dark roast in his hand F Am He’s livin’ in white yuppy land over by the milk and sugar stand F G Em Am And have I really come for this, cup of caffenated bliss? Fmaj7 Dm7 Am So we browse around all over town sipping coffees that we can’t pronounce Fmaj7 E7 And meanwhile in the Blues Cemetery all the coffins commence to bounce
