D Bm G D [Guitar Figure 1]
There's a stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was
D Bm G D [Guitar Figure 1]
And there's ash in the pages, now I've got myself lost
D Bm G D [Guitar Figure 1]
I was writing to tell you that my feelings tonight
D Bm G D [Guitar Figure 1]
Are a stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye.

Oh, [Bm]now she's gone, and I'm [F#]back on the beat
A [C#m]stain on my notebook says [A]nothing to me.
Oh, [D]now she's gone and I'm [G]out with a friend (out with a [A]friend)
With[(A)] lips full of passion [G] and coffee in [D]bed
[play Guitar Figure 1] [x2]
VERSE2:
D Bm G D [Guitar Figure 1]
With the way that you left me I could hardly contain
D Bm G D [Guitar Figure 1]
The hurt and the anger and the joy of the pain
D Bm G D [Guitar Figure 1]
Now knowing I am single there'll be fire in my eyes
D Bm G D [Guitar Figure 1]
And a stain on my notebook for a new love tonight
[repeat CBORUS]

[Guitar SOLO over: Eb F G A]
Notes:
In the F section, the [ ] is a triple hammer-on played on the second beat.
But, on the 3rd beat, you're already playing the F-note on the 3rd string.
I can't show it any other way without making it look sillier than it probably
already is.
