[SONG META: Genre=Neo-soul | BPM=98 | Feel=light swung pocket | Key=B major | Mood=flirtatious, bright, grown] [INTRO: Bmaj9–D♯m7–C♯m9–F♯13 | Rhodes stabs, upright-style bass, shaker] [Female Voice: playful low register] You always pour mine first. [VERSE 1: Bmaj9–D♯m7–C♯m9–F♯13 | crisp rim, muted guitar] Saturday, quarter after ten, The corner table waits again. You know the cup, you know the size, You leave one sugar by my side. We watch the market open wide, Count yellow taxis passing by; You steal the foam from off my spoon, I make a face, then give you two. [PRE-CHORUS: Emaj9–D♯m7–C♯m9–F♯13sus | bass walks upward] I used to think romance required A room dressed up in something new; Now all I need is one small table, One warm cup and room for you. [CHORUS: Bmaj9–F♯/A♯–G♯m9–D♯m7–Emaj9–D♯m7–C♯m9–F♯13 | buoyant pocket, bright stacks] Coffee for two, Nothing expensive, nothing to prove. Your hand by mine, the whole day loose, That is my favourite point of view. Coffee for two, I save the window seat for you. Let the busy morning move; I have got nowhere else to choose. [VERSE 2: Bmaj9–D♯m7–C♯m9–F♯13 | guitar fills, shaker opens] You read the headlines upside down, Invent the ending, make me laugh; The waiter clears the other chairs, Still neither one of us has asked. We plan a trip, we change the plan, Draw little routes across a napkin; Then fold it in your jacket seam, A modest map to something lasting. [PRE-CHORUS: Emaj9–D♯m7–C♯m9–F♯13sus | harmony answers] I used to chase the grand surprise, Now this is what I call brand new: The same small table every week, And always finding more in you. [BRIDGE: G♯m9–D♯m/F♯–Emaj9–B/D♯–C♯m9–D♯m7–Emaj9–F♯13 | drums switch to half-time] When the cups are empty, Stay until they stack the chairs. I am in no hurry When your easy smile is there. [Female Voice: nimble descending run, then clean belt] [FINAL CHORUS: Bmaj9–F♯/A♯–G♯m9–D♯m7–Emaj9–D♯m7–C♯m9–F♯13 | full groove, layered counterline] Coffee for two, Nothing expensive, nothing to prove. Your hand by mine, the whole day loose, That is my favourite point of view. Coffee for two, Save every window seat for two. [Female Voice: joyful belt, quick whistle flourish] I have got everywhere with you. [OUTRO: Emaj9–F♯13–B6/9 | cup tap, band stop] Pour mine first. I will save your seat.
