_ _ Well, two old red-nosed whiskey drunks were talking _ _ politics
[Abm] It was [Ab] time to hit the bricks, [Abm] it was [A] time [Gbm] for me to [A] go
_ [E] And I was right there on the verge of pulling out my hair
[Abm] Acting [Ab] as though I could not [Abm] care less [A] and [Gbm] hoping she would [A] show _
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] But when my bags were packed and ready, I was feeling _ like a [B] wreck
Some clothes [Ab] and _ personal effects, I [Gbm] left _ everything [A] I owned
[E] And the last I laid eyes on her, we were in a _ hotel [Abm] hall
[Ab] Holding hands like paper _ dolls, oh, but [A] here [Gbm] I sit [A] alone
_ _ [Gbm] Well, _ _ _ [A] _ I'm [E] gonna give [B] it one more minute, give me [A] one more round of rum
Well, [B] I'm as empty [E] as [B] a drum, [A] I'm as empty as a drum
[E] _ Could you spare [B] a cigarette?
_ [A] I'd hate to be a bum
Well, [B] here's to hoping she'll still come
[A] I'm too old [Gbm] to be [A] this dumb

_ _ Well, I'll tell you that _ bartender
_ _ She's a sight to see, [Abm] oh, you'd [Ab] be _ envious of me
At [A] least you would [Gbm] if she [A] was here
[E] And the kid there in the corner has been spoiling four or [Abm] five
And it [Ab] feels like that kind of night, oh, but [A] instead [Gbm] pour me a [A] beer _
[Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ And [E] I'm gonna give [B] it one more minute, give [A] me one more round of rum
Well, [B] I'm as empty as a drum, _ [A] I'm as empty [Gbm] as [A] a drum
[E] And could you [B] spare a cigarette?
[A] I'd hate to be a bum
Well, [B] here's to hoping she'll still _ come
I'm [A] too [Gbm] old to be this [A] dumb _ _ _

_ When you darkened up the doorway, _ I stood up from the bar
Well, I [Ab] said, hey, now, here you are, _ [Gbm] damn it, darling, how [A] are you?
_ [Em] And he kissed me, _ _ _ said, I can't say that I'm great
[B] Oh, Lord, [Ab] I hate it that I'm late, oh, what [A] a mess [Gbm] we got [A] into _ _
