Starbucks, Cigarettes and Purple Chairs

           D  

We'd go down to the market.  

                G  

I cut almost all of my hair  

    D

we'd stop by at starbucks

             A

the one with purple chairs.

---Let it ring and immediately go on to fast chordes for the next part of the verse---



Have a cigarette or two

we'd talk and we'd laugh

at everything that's gone on

at present and past



If we'd have known what was coming

think we'd have smiled,

as much as we did?

At least it lasted a while



ooh and we'd walk forever.

Too cheap to catch a cab.

And.. oh yes, I remember

the starbucks, cigarettes and purple chairs



My hair was disfigured

not beautiful at all

but we didn't care

'cause we just wanted more

of whatever we wanted

at that point in time

we each wanted love of a different kind



late October, fancy dress

You were pixie in a

green corset

Starbucks, cigarettes and purple chairs

is a better memory of you



I'd go back if I could and

keep all my hair

I liked it better long anyways



I'd tell you I'm sorry

for what I knew was coming

we'd never last this way.



Yeah starbucks cigarettes and purple chairs

is a better memory of you

we were young and hun we still are

we're young and we're niave fools



We're immature, plastic and stubborn, but bold

we're the next generations broken tools



Starbucks, cigarettes and purple chairs

it's a better memory of you, yeah

Starbucks, cigarettes and purple chairs.

One person will know what this song's about.

Just a reminder that the song was infact written, she just wasn't around to hear it.

I like this piece, the emotion and memories are great. We have starbucks by me too with purple chairs but you are not allowed to smoke in in. Mass doesn't allow smoking in a lot of places but hey the coffee is great there even if a bit pricey.Thanks for signing my guest books and your wonderful comments about my work,it touches me deeply..
