Fmaj7
Happy hour in those high heel boots
C
Splitting checks for some massive groups
G
Red teeth and the buyback blues
Fmaj7
The sketchy truth about the vineyard youth
C
Can’t slow down but her car is in the shop
G
She can’t pay up but she still wants to rock
Fmaj7
She can’t listen to the people talk
C
Just stares beyond their shoulders
G
And waits until their mouths stop moving
Fmaj7
She knows this guy who likes to fool around
C
He’s got a big house up in Tangletown
G
He claims he used to have a family
Fmaj7
He falls asleep way too easily
C
She walks around once he passes out
G
Calls a car and collects what’s hers
Fmaj7
Takes a bottle when she’s walking out
C G
She’s working at the cork when she gets back into her building
[Chorus]
Dm G
Sit and drink until the sun comes up
C Fmaj7
Sleep it off and then it starts again
Fmaj7 G
Go to work and when she’s getting off
Fmaj7 C
Tries to hang around some finer things
Fmaj7 C
Tries to hang around some finer things
[Verse]
Fmaj7
He keeps his eyes on the sales reports
C
Keeps in shape with the racquet sports
G
Tennis shorts on the tennis courts
Fmaj7
He lost his shirt in a bad divorce
C
The lawyers came and they scraped him away
G
He kept the house but he still lost his way
Fmaj7
He goes to work but they take half his pay
C
Leased a car that makes it look ok
G
The broker said that he should sell the wine
Fmaj7
They got this guy that can arrange a buy
C
But there’s a girl that sometimes comes to him
G
She seems to really like the finer things
Fmaj7
Once a week or so he takes her out
C
She picks the place it’s always new and loud
G
He can barely even hear her talk
Fmaj7
Just stares beyond her shoulder
Fmaj7 G
And waits until her mouth stops moving
[Chorus]
Dm G
Sit and drink until they fall asleep
C Fmaj7
He wakes up and he’s alone again
Fmaj7 G
Goes to work and then when he gets off

Tries to hang around some finer things
