[Verse]
E
Cold coffee and a couple of bucks
Am
Come the morning commute
F           C
I collect myself
C               G     C G
As I collect my change

E
Just south of Fordham station
Am
I locked eyes with a stranger
F           C
Shunned my gaze 
C               G     C G
but shared my pain

(little jump to G# before chorus)

[Chorus]
Am             D
I can't wake another morning
Am                       D      G
Just to make it one more day or two
G                      C       C/B             Am            G
Can you help me get my head on straight just a half an inch
           F          C
so I can muddle on through
C                      C/B             Am            G
Help me get my head on straight just a half an inch
           F          C
so I can muddle on through

[Verse 2]
E
I walked the shining staircase
Am
Tooth colored cascade
F                C
And count the ways
C               G     C G
that I intersect

E
Daylight and dollar signs
Am
and soft depression
F           C
The pastel shades
C               G     C G
My face refelcts

[Chorus]
Am             D
I can't wake another morning
Am                       D      G
Just to make it one more day or two
G                      C       C/B             Am            G
Can you help me get my head on straight just a half an inch
           F          C
so I can muddle on through
C                      C/B             Am            G
Help me get my head on straight just a half an inch
           F          C
so I can muddle on through

[Bridge]
Am        C
My dear, I fear
    F        C
I have to concede
Am        C             F        C
I might, I might, I might not succeed
