[Intro]
E Amaj7 E A
[Verse 1]
E
He walks in
A E
Orders up a round, how you been?
Bsus4 B
My old friend
E
The band kicks off
A E
The same old dance, the same old worn-out songs
Bsus4 B
But he sings along
[Pre-Chorus]
A E F#m7
He’s gonna stay here ‘til they make him leave
A E
F#m7 B
‘Cause he’s got all the friends a guy like him could ever need
[Chorus]
A E
One’ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
A E B
One’ll help by drownin’ out the how’d you wind up here
E B C#m A
One’ll hold him up when love has let him down
E B A
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
C#m B E A
The beer, the band and the barstool
[Verse 2]
E
Corner booth
A E
A blonde with lonely eyes, a shade of blue
B
Hey, how are you?
A E
Just by chance
A E
Are you here alone? How ‘bout a dance?
B
And she took his hand
[Pre-Chorus]
A E F#m
He hopes she’d stay, but always knew she’d leave
A E F#m B
But he’s got all the friends a guy like him could ever need
[Chorus]
A E
One’ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
A E B
One’ll help by drownin’ out the how’d you wind up here
E B C#m A
One’ll hold him up when love has let him down
E B A
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
C#m B E
The beer, the band and the barstool
[Bridge]
A E
Now he last call, lights a cigarette and orders up one more
F#m B
Pays his tab, knows he’ll be back ‘cause he’s been here before
[Chorus]
A E
One’ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
A E B
One’ll help by drownin’ out the how’d you wind up here
E B C#m A
One’ll hold him up when love has let him down
E B A
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
C#m B E A
The beer, the band and the barstool
[Outro]
E A
And the barstool
