breakfast after ten
found on the following albums : the answers / consent to treatment / argue with a tree
playing acoustic the chords sound best ( in my opinion ) as follows :
E – – 3 – – 3 – – 0 – – ] E – – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – ]
B – – 3 – – 3 – – 0 – – ] B – – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – ]
G – – 4 – – 3 – – 0 – – ] G – – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – ] Em played
D – – 5 – – 4 – – 2 – – ] D – – – – – – – – – – – 2 – – ] at the begining through to the first
A – – 5 – – 5 – – 2 – – ] A – – – – – – – – – – – 2 – – ] chorus .
E – – 3 – – 5 – – 0 – – ] E – – – 0 – 2 – 0 – 0 – 0 – – ]
G D Em
the intro/verse up until the first chorus is played in barr chords . if you know
the song , then you know the pattern for strumming .
( verse1 )
G
white kitchen walls with a thousand windows .
D
you turn on winston in the den .
G walk down to Em
and i’m still asleep but i can hear the piano .
D
when you make breakfast after ten .
G
and i smell the coffee on your fingers .
D
i still smell the perfume in the bed .
G walk down to Em
crushed linen roses are on everything .
D
and your still inside my head .
( chorus ) {from this point on the rest of the song is played with open chords}
G
you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you .
D
let her know your swapping sides .
Em G
you’re not the one with all the problems .
D
you’re the one with all the pride .
G
so just pick your head up boy and walk away .
D
walk the coolest walk that you know .
Em G D
’cause in a month or two she’ll call you . . . hang up the phone .
( verse 2 ) same chord progression as chorus
and i hope she knows i’ve got this memory .
that won’t ever seem to break or bend .
a thick lock and sheet rock is on my windows in the kitchen .
i don’t think i’ll ever take’em down again . no!
and i’ve learned alot from all of these break up and make ups and f#@k ups and fakes ups!
things that i wis you would comprehend , yeah , comprehend!
but for now i’ll lace up these wing tipped ( converse ) shoes boys
and i’ll go and have breakfast with my good friends .
( chorus again )
the break is played G A G A D Em G D
( chorus 2 )
you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you .
let her know your swapping spit .
you’re not the one with all the problems .
she’s the one that’s full of sh@t!
so just pick your head up boy and walk away .
walk the coolest walk that you know .
’cause in a month or two she’ll call you . . . hang up the phone .
