(Capo on 1)

(Intro)
|(D) / / / |(G) / / / |(D) / / / |(G) / /

(Verse 1)
He walks (D)in
(G)Orders up a round, how you (D)been? 
My old (A)friend
The band kicks (D)off
The (G)same old dance, the same old worn-out (D)songs
But he sings a-(A)long

(Pre-Chorus)
He's (G)gonna stay here (D/F#)’til they make him (Em)leave
'Cause he's (G)got all the (D/F#)friends a guy like (Em)him could ever need (A)

(Chorus)
(G)One'll hang around and tell him (D)what he wants to hear
(G)One'll help by drownin' out the (D)how'd you wind up (A)here
(D)One'll hold him (A/C#)up when (Bm)love has let him (G)down
They do the (D)best they can for a (A)broken-hearted (G)fool
The (Bm)beer, the (A)band and the (D)barstool / / / |(G) / /

(Verse 2)
Corner (D)booth
A (G)blonde with lonely eyes, a shade of (D)blue
Hey, how are (A)you?
(G) Just by (D)chance
Are (G) you here alone? How 'bout a (D)dance?
And she took his hand (A)

(Pre-Chorus)
(G)He hopes she'd stay, but (D)always knew she'd (Em)leave (D/F#)
But (G)he's got all the (D/F#)friends a guy like (Em)him could ever need (A)

(Chorus)
(G)One'll hang around and tell him (D)what he wants to hear
(G)One'll help by drownin' out the (D)how'd you wind up (A)here
(D)One'll hold him (A/C#)up when (Bm)love has let him (G)down
They do the (D)best they can for a (A)broken-hearted fool (G)
The (Bm)beer, the (A)band and the (D)barstool

(Bridge)
Now he (G)last call, lights a cigarette and (D/F#)orders up one more
(Em)Pays his tab, knows he'll be back 'cause (A)he's been here before - - -

(Chorus)
(G)One'll hang around and tell him (D)what he wants to hear
(G)One'll help by drownin' out the (D)how'd you wind up (A)here
(D)One'll hold him (A/C#)up when (Bm)love has let him (G)down
They do the (D)best they can for a (A)broken-hearted (G)fool
They go (Bm)hand in (A)hand with (G)losing you (D/F#)
The (Em)beer, the (A)band and the (D)barstool

(Outro.)
(G) / / And the (D)barstool / / / |(G) - - - - -
