bottle of white, _ _ [Bb] a bottle of red, _ [C] _ perhaps a bottle of [Bb] rosé _ [F]
instead.
_ [C] _ Get a [G] table near the [F] street in our old familiar place,
you [C] and I [Gm] [Bb] face to face.
_ [C] _ _
[F] A bottle of red, _
[Bb] _ a bottle of white, _ _
[C] _ it all [Bb] depends upon your _ [F] appetite.
_ _ [G] _
I'll meet you anytime [C] you want in our [Bb] Italian _ [F] restaurant.

_ _ Things are okay with me these days, [Dm] I got a good job, I got a [C] good office.
I got a new wife, [F] got a new life and [Am] the family is [D]
fine.
Oh, [G] lost touch [D] long ago, [Dm] you lost weight, I [G] did not know.
[C] You remember I [F] looked so nice after [C] so much time.
[Eb] You remember those days [Bb] hanging out at the [F] Village Green, _
_ _ [Eb] engineer [Bb] boots, leather jackets, and tight blue [F] jeans.
Oh, [Eb] you drop a dime in the [Bb] box, play a song about [F] New Orleans. _ _
[Eb] _ Cold beer, [Bb] hot [C] lights, my sweet [D] romantic [G] teenage nights.

Brenda and Eddie were the popular [D] steadies and the king and the queen of the prom.
[G] Riding around with the car top [C] down and the radio on
_ [G] Nobody looked [D] any finer
[G] Or with more of a [C] hint at the parkway [G] diner
You never knew [F] we could want more than [E] that out of life
[Ab] Sure, the vendor and Eddie would always know how [G] to survive
[F] Oh, [Em] oh, _ [D] oh, [G] oh, oh, [F] oh, [Em] oh, oh, oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh, oh
Brenda and Eddie was still going [D] steady in the summer of 75
_ [G] When they decided the marriage would [C] be at the end of July _
[G] Everyone said [D] they were crazy
[G] Brenda, you know [C] that you're much too [G] lazy
And Eddie could [F] never afford to live that [E] kind of life
Oh, [Am] oh, but there we were waving Brenda and [G] Eddie goodbye
[F] Oh, [Em] oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, oh, [C] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Well, they got an apartment with deep-paw [D] compass
And a couple old [G] paintings from Sears
[C] A big waterbed that they bought with the bread [D] they'd save for a couple [G] years
[C] They fought when the money got tight
[D] And they just didn't count [Em] on the tears
[A] Oh, oh, oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, _ [G] _ _

[E] They _ [D] _
[C] did it for a while in a very nice [D] style, but it's always the same [G] in the end.
[C] They got a divorce as a matter of course, and they [G] parted the closest of friends.
[C] Then the king and the queen went back to the green, but [D] you can never go back there [E] again. _
