[Verse 1]
[Am]Ther[B]e's [C]a [G]Coke[D] machine glowin'
[C#dim]through t[G]he [C]par[B]king lot
Call [Em]it a room with a view
This was the best night [Dm]of pool
[G]that I e[F]ver[Bb] shot
[E]I made a[Am] lot of [B]money too
[C]I w[G]as looking for some company
[C#dim]In the we[Em]ekly [C]Scene[B]
Seen an ad it [Em]just [Dm]had
to be you
I hadn't seen you since [F]New Or[E]leans
[Am]And [B]I ne[C#dim]ver did[D][Em]
figure out where you ran off to
I [C]know I looked bad the
[Am]last time [B]you [Em]saw me
But lately I been doin' all right
I won a [C]tournament last week
[Am]in Oklahoma Ci[B]ty
Hustled [Em]half [C]of this town to[Am]night
[B]I got some co[C]caine [G]if [D]you
[C#dim]want some[Em][C]
[B]It's the best that I could find Hey
[Em]we could just sit here and talk [Dm]all [G]night
If [F]that big ol' guy out [E]in the
car [Am]don't mind
Like [B]old [C]times

[Verse 2]
Screw off the top on a bottle of [G]wine [D]Living out our
[C#dim]own kind [Em]of Am[C]erican dream[B]
Old times
[Em]Your goal was always the s[Dm]ame as mine
You didn't want [G]to [F]thr[E]ow a fishing[Am]
line in that [B]old [C#dim]main stream
You [D]know I ain't expect

[Verse 3]
[Em]ing
anybody but you
I don't know who this [C]could
be [Am]at the door
[B]But I'm pretty sure that [Em]you got a clue
And I bet that you've been
[C]to this hotel before
Put the "you- know- what"
- In [B]the bathroom but
Don't flush it down [Em]just yet
Put your pager [C]in my suitcase
I'll get the window
You light a cigarette
It'll be like...
Old times Just [Am]like [B]the [C]old times

[Verse 4]
[G][C#dim][Em][C]
[B]Living out our[Em] own[Dm][G][F]
[E]kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was [Am]always the
[B]same as [C]mine[G][D]
[C#dim]You didn'[Em]t wan[C]t to throw[B]
a fishing line in that old main stream
No [Em]sir officer

[Verse 5]
you don't under[Dm]stand
We're [G]just two old friends
[F]drinkin' wine
I'm sure she is but that's not all [E]she is
She's also an [Am]old friend of mine
I got [B]her high school [C#dim]picture[D][Em]
right here in my wallet - 1982
[C]No sir officer no [B]offense [Em]taken
[C]You have a [B]good night, too

[Verse 6]
Good thing we didn't [Em]throw this away,
baby
Turn up that radio
[C]I'm pretty [B]sure that cop [Em]knew
what we were up to
[C]I guess [B]he [Em]just decided to let us go
Don't make such a thing
about [C]that picture
[B]That was [Em]just something [C]I kept
Don't [Am]get [B]all sentimental
[Em]on me now, girl
You haven't even told me
what your new [C]name is yet

[Verse 7]
Old times
Just like the old times
Living out [Em]our own kind[B]
of [Em]American dream
Old times
Your goal was [C]always the
same as mine
[B]You didn't [Em]want to throw a fishing
line [C]in [B]that old main stream
