Afternoons and Coffeespoons

D       G  D       G  Asus4      A

[Verse 1]

D               A               D          G              G A
What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy
D                     A                  D      G         G A
There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
F           Bb                     C
I've had my lungs checked out with X-rays
F                Bb       C                 Dm        Bbsus2
I've smelled the hospital hallways

[Short Chorus]

D       G         D                 A
Someday I'll have    a disappearing hairline
D       G         D                 A             G      A
Someday I'll wear    pajamas in the daytime

[Verse 2]

D              A                D       G             G  A
Times when the day seems like a play by Sartre
D               A                D       G            G  A
When it seems a book burnings in perfect order
F          Bb          C
I gave the doctor my description
F             Bb             C                Dm      Bbsus2
I've tried to stick to my prescription

[Long Chorus]

D       G          D                 A
Someday I'll have     a disappearing hairline
D       G          D                 A
Someday I'll wear     pajamas in the daytime
G       D
Oh, oh, oh, oh              (or something to that effect)
A    D             G
Afternoons will be measured out

Bm               G
Measured out and measured with
A     D               G                 G  A
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot

[Bridge]

Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback
I could change the test results that I would get back
I've watched a summer evening pass by
I've heard the rattle in my bronchi

[Long Chorus]

D       G          D                 A
Someday I'll have     a disappearing hairline
D       G          D                 A
Someday I'll wear     pajamas in the daytime
G       D
Oh, oh, oh, oh              (or something to that effect)
A    D             G
Afternoons will be measured out
Bm               G
Measured out and measured with
A     D               G                 G  A
