[Verse]
Am G F E Am G F E
I don't drink, I just smoke I don't gamble no more And I don't use no toke
Am G F E Am G F E
All I wanna do is be with you Smoke my cigarettes and have some java brew
Am G F E Am G F E
Make it black, and strong, that's what I need-Cause when I think of love, don't you know what I bleed?
Am G F E Am G F E
I bleed blues, and rhythm, and rock'n roll All that funky stuff that shakes up my soul
[Chorus]
Am G F E Am G F E
Drinking black coffee and cigarettes Trying to remember what she told me to forget
Am G F E Am G F E
When you love somebody, then you split You're drinking black coffee and cigarettes.

Am G F E Am G F E
Now coffee next to oil is the second greatest traded commodity I don't know what that means!
Am G F E
All I know I'm black and I'm blue, and I'm crazy for you
Am G F E
Sometimes I just want to scream - Go on and scream boy!
Am G F E Am G F E
Even Nostradamus couldn't name us Cause love is blind - love is blind
Am G F E Am G F E
And you can't see the future, You just say 'who's her?' She's sure 'nough is fine hey hey.....

I took a bus trip back in time Round 66 when it was the main line
Am G F E Am G F E
I saw teepees and motel, design like events And then I saw that place Where we once spent
Am G F E Am G F E
But nostalgia ain't what it used to be When you take out the good parts and leave in the misery
Am G F E Am G F E
But if I had to do it again You know I'd do it with you, it was dumb like sin, yeah!
[Chorus]
Am G F E Am G F E
Drinking black coffee and cigarettes Trying to remember what she told me to forget
Am G F E Am G F E
When you love somebody, then you split You're drinking black coffee and cigarettes.
