Blah Blah

   A Asus4   A A9        A Asus4 A A9
It always happens in coffee shops
         A Asus4   A A9          A     Asus4    A A9
And I'm always hungover when someone wants to talk
                   A Asus4 A      A9                    A Asus4           A        A9
And don't get me wrong, I like talking when it's a healthy back-and-forth exchange
            A Asus4 A A9                   A       Asus4    A A9
But some people always wanna lecture me and try to make me change
            A Asus4            A A9
He says 'You are a mystery, aren't you'
       A Asus4 A A9                               A Asus4 A A9
And considering he hasn't shut up long enough for me to string two words together
    A Asus4 A A9
Yes that's me, Miss Mystery
  A Asus4 A A9
And he's quiet for a time
       A Asus4 A A9        A Asus4 A A9
And I think that might be a good sign
    A Asus4 A A9                                  A Asus4 A A9
Til there's a glint in his eye and I realise he's just making more sentences in his mind
             F                                Em
And here it comes, and there's nothing I can do now
          F
I take a sip, I take a breath
             E7
He licks his lips and he's opening his mouth, and it's:

[Chorus]
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7        A7   D7      E7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7  D7                A7   D7      E7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
(E7)
blah blah blah

[Verse 2]
         A Asus4 A A9
Like a steam train
          A Asus4 A A9
Like an onslaught
        A Asus4      A         A9                       A Asus4 A A9                        A Asus4
Like a machine gun loaded with your opinions but it's incoherent ammunition and your words aren't very
    A            A9               A Asus4 A A9
wounding weapons when they're inflicted on me
        A Asus4 A A9
And I know you mean well
           A Asus4 A A9
With your deep wells of advice
               A Asus4 A A9
And your buckets of swelled self-righteousness
                 A Asus4 A A9
Hell, you're just trying to be nice
            F                                            Em
And you're nice, but you state your views like they are facts of life
       F
And I hate that, and I tell you
       E7
And I brace myself for the reply, it's gonna be:

[Chorus]
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7        A7   D7      E7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7  D7                A7   D7      E7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
(E7)
blah blah blah

[Verse 3]
     A Asus4 A A9                     A Asus4 A A9
He says, 'You never were much of a talker'
      A Asus4 A A9
Well this isn't talking
    A Asus4 A A9
This is being cornered
           A Asus4 A A9
I'm being cornered by you
      A Asus4 A A9
And I can't get away
       A Asus4 A A9
From this table for two
                      A Asus4 A A9
In the corner of this bright corner cafe
     F                                     Em
And didn't we have this same conversation last week?
      F                                  E7
It's not that I don't like you - I just wish you wouldn't speak:

[Chorus]
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7        A7   D7      E7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7  D7                A7   D7      E7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
(E7)
blah blah blah

[Verse 4]
 A Asus4 A A9      A Asus4 A A9
I see he's made a list
  A Asus4 A A9
Of pressing topics of discussion
  A Asus4 A A9
Competing with the clanking coffee cup percussion
   A Asus4 A A9
And I guess we'll start with number one
    A Asus4 A A9
On the first A4 page
           A Asus4 A A9
Past the setting of the sun
         A Asus4 A A9
And the pouring of the lattes
             F                               Em
And here it comes, it's coming and there's nothing anyone can do
          F
I take a sip

I grip the chair
              E7
He opens his big, wet slippery mouth:

[Chorus]
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7                A7   D7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
A7          D7        A7   D7      E7  F7 F#7
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
F#7   G7   G#7
blah blah blah
G#7   A7   A#7
blah blah blaaaahh
