E     D A      E      D A
Violent denial chasing
E           D       A      E      D A
Turning and turning in the morning

G          D            E
Stoned and alone by the evening
     G               D            E
It's so nice to have nothing to believe in

E         D    A   E           D A
First big love big school bully
E           D        A       E   D A
Little one, you've become so ugly

G           D              E
Sit staring blindly at the sun
G          D                  E
 Mother of pearl, I'm not the one

[Chorus]
      Am    C                   G
Cause we're gracefully falling apart
  D                     Am
A minute to midnight it starts
         C             G
Drinking coffee in the dark
          D                     Am
Trying to hold on hold on to my heart
C                  G
Gracefully falling apart
  D                     Am
A minute to midnight it starts
         C             G
Drinking coffee in the dark
          D    N.C      E   D  A
Trying to hold on to my heart

[Interlude]
E   D A  x3

[Verse]
E             D        A         E     D A
And I haven't seen him since the summer
    E            D    A  E     D A
And he says he's lost my number

G              D           E
Says he's back here to serenade me
G       D          E
Ooh, vodka and lemonade me

E        D     A      E     D A
He tells me to set my breath
     E             D            A     E    D A
That smoke is only smoke for an early death

   G            D               E
He takes me on another midnight drive
    G              D            E
So, this is how it feels to be alive


[Chorus]
      Am    C                   G
Cause we're gracefully falling apart
  D                     Am
A minute to midnight it starts
         C             G
Drinking coffee in the dark
          D                     Am
Trying to hold on hold on to my heart
C                  G
Gracefully falling apart
  D                     Am
A minute to midnight it starts
         C             G
Drinking coffee in the dark
          D    N.C
Trying to hold on

[Interlude]
E   D A  x8

[Chorus]
      Am    C                   G
Cause we're gracefully falling apart
  D                     Am
A minute to midnight it starts
         C             G
Drinking coffee in the dark
          D                     Am
Trying to hold on hold on to my heart
C                  G
Gracefully falling apart
  D                     Am
A minute to midnight it starts
         C             G
Drinking coffee in the dark
          D
Trying to hold
          Am
Trying to hold on, hold on
C
Hold on, hold on
G
Hold on, hold on
D                      Am
Hold on, hold on to my heart
C             G    D Am C G D Am
Coffee in the dark ----     Oh
    C             G
Oh, Coffee in the Dark
          D   N.C.
Trying to hold on to my heart
