Capo 4th Fret

Intro: (G)  (G)  (D)  (G)  (G)  (D)  (G)

Well I (G) run a little tavern on a dead end street
And my (Cadd9) ears are pretty bent
By the time I close at three
Every(D)body's got a wish that (Cadd9) comes in (G) here
A (D) little amnesia for the (Cadd9) price of a beer
And (G) Dale knows that I know all about his wife
And (Cadd9) what it is she's doing and
Who she's with tonight
But I don't (D) say a word about it
And (Cadd9) neither does (G) he
He just (D) talks about them Dodgers
And (Cadd9) buys another drink

  Down at The (G) Wishing Well 
  Forgetfulness is (Em7) what's for sale
  To help wash away the (Am7) sin of lovers and friends
  Or just for(D)give themselves
  A place to throw their (G) money down
  In hopes of getting (Em7) lost or found
  You ought to hear the (Am7) stories 
  They don't (D) tell
  Down at The (Cmaj7) Wishing Well

Repeat Intro

They say (G) Gina was a heartbreaker
Back in her day
But (Cadd9) years and hard living
Put the lines on her face
Now she (D) only wants a man
Who can (Cadd9) see her like be(G)fore
So she (D) sips her margarita and (Cadd9) watches the door

  Down at The (G) Wishing Well 
  Forgetfulness is (Em7) what's for sale
  To help wash away the (Am7) sin of lovers and friends
  Or just for(D)give themselves
  A place to throw their (G) money down
  In hopes of getting (Em7) lost or found
  You ought to hear the (Am7) stories 
  They don't (D) tell
  Down at The (Cmaj7) Wishing Well

Solo

Yeah I'll (D) pour you a drink seven nights a week
And I'll (Cadd9) listen to what you say or you don't 
Cause that's (Am7) how I forget
The reasons that I'm a(D)lone

  Down here at The (G) Wishing Well 
  Forgetfulness is (Em7) what's for sale
  To help wash away the (Am7) sin of lovers and friends
  Or just for(D)give ourselves
  A place to throw our (G) money down
  In hopes of getting (Em7) lost or found
  You ought to hear the (Am7) stories 
  They don't (D) tell
  Down at The (Cmaj7) Wishing Well
  You ought to hear the (Am7) stories 
  We don't (D) tell
  Down at The (Cmaj7) Wishing Well
