D               F#m   G               D 
There is a girl I see every day 
D                A7         D 
She works in the café 
D             A       F#             Bm 
At the corner down the street 
G                  A              D 
Where I go after my shift 
  
D               F#m   G               D 
I spend my lunch break there each day 
D                    A7                  D 
And without any word to say 
D             A       F#             Bm 
She brings me a cup of sugary tea 
G                 A               D 
And gently smiles at me 
  

G       A        D 
I know her well 
G           A                 Bm 
And she knows me well 
G              A        D          Bm 
I see her often after work 
G                   A                  D 
For she is my best friend's lover 
  

D               F#m   G               D 
From the window I sit by at my workplace 
D                A              D 
I can see easily her face 
D             A       F#             Bm 
All the ladies that work there have long fair hair 
G                          A                                       D 
But she's the reason why I wouldn't go elsewhere 
  
D               F#m   G               D 
If I ever fancy a sweet pastry 
D                      A           D 
She gives me one for free 
D             A       F#             Bm 
She'd never charge me when I ask for the bill 
G                      A                                 D 
She'll use her next tip to pay off the till 
  
 
G        A        D 
I'll never tell her 
G         A          Bm 
I think that I fell 
G                  A        D                       Bm 
In love with her, I lock my heart instead 
G                   A                            D 
For she is my best friend's girlfriend 
  

D               F#m   G               D 
I've bought a cup and a tin can of tea 
D            A               D 
From now on I stay in 
D             A       F#             Bm 
It will be easier I think for me 
G                      A             D 
To change my loving feeling 
  
D               F#m   G               D 
  
Eventually she ran into me 
D                     A            D 
And sadly she asked me 
D             A       F#             Bm 
Is there any reason why you don't come to drink 
G                   A                          D 
Anymore a cup of tea with milk? 
  
  
G   G7  G6  G7   G 
And I replied 
  
D               F#m   G               D 
There's a backlog of work I got to catch up on 
D                     A                 D 
So I'm quite busy these days 
D             A       F#             Bm 
But I'll soon come eating a slice of apple pie someday 
G                A            D 
Sprinkled with cinnamon 
  
 
G       A          D 
But I didn't believe 
G        A       Bm 
In what I just said 
G       A       D                  Bm 
But I'm relieved if she did 
G                         A                     D 
I don't want to cause her any pain 
  
G         A       D 
Oh life did send 
G                           A               Bm 
A trial to prove I'm a good friend 
G                        A        D            Bm 
But I'm sure I won't fail this test 
G                        A                    D 
I like her but I love him the best
