[A] We had a little quarrel, [C#m] she [A] and I.
[D] She told me just to curl up and die.
[A] I [E] crept out to drown my sorrows
at a joint called No Tomorrow's
[B] where the old man [D] came and he looked me [A] in the [E] eye.
[A] Oh, [A]
I could see he has some wisdom.
[C#m] [A]
[D] Some story that [C#m] was etched and [Bm] burnished
[C#] upon [Bm] his [A] heart, [E] but his heart began to whistle.
She could see that I was a little
[Bm] beside [D] that bar till [A] nearly [E] three.
She said, what old man said [A] to me?
He [D] said, blah, blah, blah, [A] blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And in a different era, [D] blah, blah, blah, [B] blah, 1963.
[E]
[D] He said, blah, blah, blah, [A] blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Woke up in jail with Jim Rickey, blah, [E] blah, blah, blah.
[D] So, [A] I sat there and I listened to his words.
[D] As they flapped around my head like little birds.
[E] Had he gone for a ride in the busy place,
could I just not comprehend?
[Bm] His words were [D] riding lines I could [E] not read.
When suddenly, it all came [A] clear to me.
And [D] he said, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, [A] blah, blah.
I'm crazy, [E] happy, [D] blah, blah, blah, [B]
[E] blah, blah, blah, blah.
Me, [D] he said, blah, blah, blah, blah, [A] blah, blah, blah, blah.
I didn't know it, [E] blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[D] And it would not [A] leave me there.
[E] [D]
[A] [D] [B]
[E] [D]
[A] [E] [D]
[A] [B] Old Bland was still talking, but I seized my chance to flee.
[D] That couch that never knows, [E] I'll knock the floor with my insta-babe.
[D] I know that a man [A] and a woman's lives were somehow changed.
[D] By a love so divisive, [E] incoherent, and deranged.
[D] That my memories of that evening [A] jingled an inner, lousy fear.
[D] That I might become old Bland, [E] and he'd be where they still be.
And I'll [D] say, blah, blah, blah, [A] blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, [D] blah, blah, [A] blah.
[B] Mistakes [E] were made.
I'll [A] say, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, [E] blah, blah.
[C#m] It's also nice to have a [E] man, blah, blah, blah.
[D] I never had a chance [A] to say.
