Bayview Diner
[Verse 1]
Am E C E F E
Let me tell you about a place called the bayview diner
Am E C E F E
The waiting staff that they have there could not be any finer
F E F E
But the guy in back was a jerk who went utterly berserk
F G F E
for no reason other than me being a bit of a quirk
[Verse 2]
Am E C E F E
I had finished my food and I had enjoyed it very much
Am E C E F E
the waitress offered to refill my coffee oh what a nice touch
F E F E
when I was halfway done with it I went to the bathroom to take a shit
F G F E
Then I finished my coffee ready for the road to hit
[Verse 3]
Am E C E F E
So I head on to the back and I go unplug my phone
Am E C E F E
Then from the kitchen here he comes and in a very mean tone
F E F E
He says that you have to go been here too long you know
F G F E
Well I was about to leave but it looks like I’ve got a new foe
[Bridge 1]
Am E
I go out to the parking lot to record myself a video shot
F E
He comes out with a temper hot fuming face dripping with snot
Am E
He thinks that he is hot to trot but he’s no better than a little tot
F E F E
just a preprogrammed robot thinking all the homeless should rot
[instrumental break]
Am E C E F E Am E C E F E F E F E F G F E
[Verse 4]
Am E C E F E
So I go outside and play guitar at the abandoned store
Am E C E F E
and I’m sure that really gets his goat because its right next door
F C F E
Now here come the police They’re just trying to keep the peace
F G F E
I try to argue my case but then I choose to cease
[Verse 5]
Am E C E F E
So I take my stuff across the lot and onto public land
Am E C E F E
The cops don’t even bust my balls I guess they understand
F E F E
Then I finish up my set Now it’s time to jet
F G F E
Time to write this song so that I never forget
[Bridge 2]
Am E
Hear my story jerky dude that is what you get for being rude
F E
Giving me bad attitude looking down on me you silly snood
Am E
What put you in such a bad mood You’ve been taught wrong your thoughts delude
F E F E
Spent half my money on your food Now I’ll get payback and not intrude
[instrumental break]
Am E C E F E Am E C E F E F E F E F G F E
[Closing]
