First Verse 


A                                                                    D 
The waitress with the orange hair keeps motionin' me to hurry up and leave 
D    E 
So I gulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out 
E                                   A 
I smear a streak of mustard down my sleeve 
A 
And the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head 
A                                        D 
And looks at me as though I've blown his mind 
D           E                                                          A 
Hey, I just come here for some coffee...hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time 


A   D                      A 
And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you 
A     E                                    A 
And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to 
A    D                                  A 
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then 
E                      A 
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again 
E                      A 
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again 


Second Verse 


A 
That blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new  
D 
clothes 
D   E 
She grabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink 
E                                        A 
She's not the campfire girl you might suppose 
A 
But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time 
A                                D 
For any kind of trouble small as mine 
D           E                                                          A 
Hey, I just come in here for nothin'... hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you 
A     E                                    A 
And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to 
A    D                                  A 
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then 
E                      A 
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again 
E                      A 
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again 


Third Verse 


B 
Well I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along  
B    E 
your way 
E      F# 
But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb 
F#                                    B 
I think I just might stop inside that church and maybe pray 
B 
But they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't  
B     E 
got a dime 
E           F# 
Hey, I just come in here to talk to GOD... hope I'm not wastin' anybody's  
B

And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to 
B    E                                  B 
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then 
F#                     B 
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again 
F#                     B 
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again...
