[Intro]
Am C/B C
[Verse 1]
Am C/B C
In an all-night diner 'bout a quarter 'til three
Am C/B C
A pretty girl's cuttin' bedroom eyes at me
Am C/B C
She takes her coffee one sugar, one cream
Am C/B C
She takes her coffee just like me
[Verse 2]
Am C/B C
In an all-night diner off the interstate
Am C/B C
Too much fun outrunnin' fate
Am C/B C
With a fork she pokes the eggs on her plate
Am C/B C
I said "Baby what's wrong?", she said "It's gettin' late"
[Chorus]
G F C
And what more is there left to say?
G F C
When we watch tomorrow turn today
Am C/B C
And why'd you have to look at me that way?
Am C/B C
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
Am C/B C
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
[Verse 3]
Am C/B C
In a run-down room is where we'll lie
Am C/B C
Lose all meanin' of wrong and right
Am C/B C
We can be each other's if for just one night
Am C/B C
And if the sun comes a-callin', pull the curtains tight
[Verse 4]
Am C/B C
From a run-down room off the interstate
Am C/B C
Headed in to work about an hour late
Am C/B C
If lovin' you could earn a steady pay
Am C/B C
I'd never have to work again another day
[Chorus]
G F C
And what more is there left to say?
G F C
When we watch tomorrow turn today
Am C/B C
And why'd you have to look at me that way?
Am C/B C
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
Am C/B C
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
[Outro]
Am C/B C
And why'd you have to look at me that way?
Am C/B C
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
Am C/B C
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
