[D][F#m][F#][G]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Well [D]two old red- [Dm]nosed
whiskey drunks [D]were talkin' [Dm]politics
[A]It [F#m]was ti[F#]me to hit the bricks
It was [F#m]time f[G]or me to go
And [D]I was right there on the verge
of pullin' out my [Dm]hair
[F#m]Act in[F#]' as though I could not care less
[F#m]and ho[G]pin' she would show

[Verse 2]
[G]
Well my [D]bags are packed and ready
I was feelin' like a wreck
[F#m]Some clothes a[F#]nd personal effects
I left [G]everything I own
And the last [Dm]I lai[D]d eyes on her
We were in a hotel hall
[F#m]Holdin' [F#]hands like paper dolls
But [G]here I sit alone
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[G]Well, I'm gonna give it
[D]one [F#m]more m[A]inute
Give me one [G]more round of rum
Well I'm as [A]empty as a [F#m]drum
I'm as [G]empty as a drum
[D]Could you spare a cigar[A]ette
[G]I hate to be a bum
But here's to [A]hopin'
she'll still [F#m]come
I'm too [G]old to be this dumb

[Interlude 1]
Well, I'm too old to be this dumb
[D][F#m]
[F#][G][D]
[F#m][F#][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
Well, [D]I tell you that bartender
[Dm]She's a sight to see
You'd [F#m]be env[F#]ious of me
Least you [G]would if she [Em]was h[G]ere
And [D]the kid there in the corner
[Dm]has been spoilin' for a fi[D]ght
And [F#m]it feels lik[F#]e that of night
Buddy [F#m]in ste[G]ad pour me a beer
[Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]And I'm gonna giv[D]e it
one [F#m]more m[A]inute
[F#m]Give me o[A]ne m[G]ore round of rum
Well I'm as [A]empty as a [F#m]drum
I'm as [G]empty as a drum
[D]Could you spare a c[Dm]igarett[A]e
[G]I hate to be a bum
But here's to [A]hopin'
she'll still [F#m]come
I'm too [G]old to be this dumb
Well, I'm [Em]too [G]old to be [D]this dumb

[Interlude 2]
[F#m][F#][F#m][G]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 6]
When you [D]darkened up the doorway
I stood up from [Dm]the [D]bar
[Dm]Well I [F#m]said hey n[F#]ow here you are
Damn [F#m]it dar[G]lin' how are you
And [D]you kissed me
Said I can't say that I'm great
Oh [F#m]Lord, I [F#]hate it that I am late
Oh, what a [G]mess we got into

[Outro 1]
[G]
