[Intro]
C E x2

[Verse]
C                                                         E
When I can taste the coffee on your lips,
C                                                                      E
I just think about how I have to go without it.
C
I’ll forget what it feels like,
C                                                                      E
My mind will lose the times you held me tight

Dm
You forgot to pack a couple of things,
D
I like to think you left them just for me.
Dm
Your shirt smells just like you do,
D
I hang it with my clothes so I can almost see you
Dm* D*
Why’d you have to go?

[Chorus]
G                                               A
You know maybe it’s all we have,
G
to go back and forth
A
our ups and downs get old real fast,
G                                                                      A
And baby, we’ve been through it all,
G                                               A
but when your gone I still go through the worst withdraw
G                        A                        D
Your caffeine kiss just never seems to last

[Verse]
Dm
When I hear the phone ring only in my mind,
D
just goes to show you’ve been gone quite a long time,
Dm
These days away will take their double,
Dm
we’ll try to salvage all the things this distance stole.
D
Your voice on the phone and in my ear,
D
it’s like the way you whisper to me when you’re here.
Dm* Dm*
Why’d you have to leave?

[Chorus]
G A
You know maybe it’s all we have,
G
to go back and forth
A
our ups and downs get old real fast,
G A
And baby, we’ve been through it all,
G A
but when your gone I still go through the worst withdraw
G A
Your caffeine kiss just never seems to…

[Interlude]
Dm* Dm*
Two hours ago I awoke to rain pouring,
D* D*
My eyes’ dream fading,
Dm* D*
so I brewed a cup to get my share of caffeine
D* D*
But it’s not the same without your kiss darling.
maybe it’s all we have,
to go back and forth
our ups and downs get old real fast,

[Chorus]
A
maybe it’s all we have,
G
to go back and forth
A
our ups and downs get old real fast,
G A
And baby, we’ve been through it all,
G A
but when your gone I still go through the worst withdraw
G
Your caffeine kiss
G
Your caffeine kiss
Dm D* Dm
Your caffeine kiss just never seems to… last…
