Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]As [C]the cafe was cl[F]osing
On a warm summer [G]night
And [F]Cathy was clean[G]ing the spoon[C]s
The [F]radio [C]played the hit parade
[D]And I hummed a long with the tun[G]e
She [F]asked me to change the sta[C]tion
Said the [F]song just drove her insane
[G]But it weren'[C]t just the
music play[F]ing
[G]It was me she was trying [C]to blame

[Verse 2]
And the [F]sky is black and still [C]now
On the [F]hill where the angels [G]sing
Ain't [F]it funny how an old broken [C]bottle
Looks just like [G]a diamond [C]ring
But [F]it's far, [G]far from [C]me

[Verse 3]
Well, [C]I leaned on [F]my left leg
In the parking lot [G]dirt
And [F]Cathy was clos[G]ing the lights
[C]A Jun[F]e bug flew from the
[C]warmth he once knew
And [D]I wished for once I weren't [G]right
Why [F]we used to laugh to[C]gether
And we'd [F]dance to any old [G]song
Well, ya [C]know, she still laughs [F]with me
But she [G]waits just a second to [C]long

[Verse 4]
And the [F]sky is black [C]and still now
On the [F]hill where the angels [G]sing
Ain't [F]it funny how an old broken [C]bottle
Looks just like [G]a diamond [C]ring
But [F]it's far, [G]far from [C]me

[Verse 5]
Well, I [C]started [F]the engine
And I gave it some [G]gas
[F]Cathy was clos[G]ing [C]her purse
Well, we [F]hadn't gone far
in my [C]beat up old car
And [D]I was prepared for the worst
[G]"Wi[F]ll you still see me tomorrow[C]?"
[F]"No, I got too much [G]to do"
Well, a ques[C]tion ain't really a ques[F]tion
If [G]you know the answer [C]too

[Verse 6]
And the [F]sky is black [C]and still now
On the [F]hill where the angels [G]sing
Ain't it [F]funny how an old broken [C]bottle
Looks just like [G]a diamond [C]ring
[F]But it's far, [G]far from me[C]
