(Verse 1)
There's a (D)coke machine blowin' through a parkin' lot
(G)Called it a room with a view
Was the (D)best night of pool that I ever (A)shot
(D)Made a lot of money too

(G) Old (D)times
(A) Screw off the top on a (D)bottl„u of wine

(Verse 3)
You (D)know I ain't expectin' anybody but you
I don't know (G)who that could be at the door (A)
But (D)I'm pretty sure that you got a clue
And I (G)bet you been to this hotel before
Put the (A)you know what in the (G)bathroom but
(Em)Don't flush it (D/F#)down just (G)yet
Put your (A)pager in my suitcase, I'll get the window
(A)You light a cigar-(G/B)ette, (A)it'll (G)be (Em)like

(G) You didn't wanna throw a (D)fishin' line in that (A)old main (D)stream

(Bridge)
(Em)No sir officer you (Bm)don't understand
Just two (A)old friends drinkin' wine
I'm (Em)sure she is but that's (Bm)not all she is

I (G)guess he just decided to (A)let us (G)go
(A)Don't make such a thing about the (G)picture
