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
