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

      G#             D#/G               Fm
He's gonna stay here 'til they make him leave
        G#                D#/G              Fm
'Cause he's got all the friends a guy like him
            A#
could ever need

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

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

He hopes she'd stay, but always knew she'd leave
But he's got all the friends a guy
like him could ever need

Chorus

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

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

And the barstool
