Miss Emilys Picture

   D
I wake up in the morning is a state 
of fright

On the wrong side of the bed all 
night
   G                               
Clinging to the broken heart Inside
     D
 my head
   G                  A
I open my eyes and I move my hand
       G                     
From 'round her pillow to the 
    A
nightstand
      G                      A    
And straighten Miss Emily's 
         D
picture by my bed

[Verse 2]
 D
Go to the office; the work's piled 
up
       D
Pour three fingers bourbon in my 
coffee cup
    G                           
Cry on my best friend's shoulder 
           D
down the hall
 G                      A
Feel so lonely, when I close the 
door
 G                   A
Bite my nails and I walk the floor
     G                        A   
And straighten Miss Emily's 
         D
picture on my wall

[Chorus]
 D                      G         D
Look out my window and what do I see
   D                       A      
Nothing but pain looking back at 
  D
me
                    G       D
All that my future means to me
      Em                           
Is tossing yesterday's love out 
       G
into the wind
                               A   
And straighten Miss Emily's picture
          D
 now and then


[Verse 3]
    D
I leave my office and I go downtown

To a little bar we all hang around
  G                             
Laugh drink beer -shoot pool and 
         D
have a ball
           G                     A
When the laughter stops and the hurt
 takes hold
 G                     A
Reach in my pocket for my billfold
     G                  A         
And show Miss Emily's picture to 
    D
em' all

[Verse 4]
   D
I stagger in the house and I slam 
the door

Scatter my clothes all over the 
floor
    G                              
Wishing I could do the same thing 
      D
in my head
  G                 A
Drink a beer and I eat a bite
     G                  A
And just before I turn out the light
    G                      A      
I straighten Miss Emily's picture 
       D
by my bed


[Chorus]
  D                     G         D
Look out my window and what do I see
   D                      A       D
Nothing but pain looking back at me
                     G      D
All that my future means to me
    Em
Is tossing yesterday's love out into
 the wind
                              A    
And straighten Miss Emily's picture
          D
 now and then
