C C7 F
With a pocket full of quarters and time on my hands
C G7
That old jukebox keeps calling my name
C C7 F
One day it might break me but I'll pay the price
C G7 C
For an evening with your memory again
[Chorus]
G7 F C
Three minutes at a time I get lost in each song
G7 F G7
It's heartache in rhyme but it helps me hang on
C C7 F Fm
I drop a quarter in the jukebox and for a while you're still mine
C G7 C
I'm getting by three minutes at a time
C7 F
Old Joe in the corner sits there every night
C G7
He's heard my story he knows every line
C C7 F
My misery's in good company as long as I'm here
C G7 C
In this barroom the past comes alive
[Chorus]
