Вступление
[Verse 1]
N.C. A
The cops are in the parking lot, I'm much too drunk to drive
D
The band is packing up their stuff, it must be closing time
G
There's a dusty velvet Elvis and a sign that says Lone Star
DAD
I'm just treadin' water at the deep end of the bar
A
Well, I guess I ought to call Marie just to let her know
D
See, I went out for some cigarettes about three weeks ago
G
And I wonder what she misses most, her Camels or her car
DAD
But I'm just treadin' water at the deep end of the bar
[Chorus]
GAD
So pick em up and drink em down
BmA
This is the last and final round
GD
Where everybody soon forgets your name
EA
And your life it goes down the drain
[Verse 2]
DA
Well, ol' Bill there, he's a cowboy but he's never rode the range
D
The waitress, she's an actress but she's never been on stage
G
And old Elvis keeps on starin', a sign that says Lone Star,
DAD
But I'm just treadin' water at the deep end of the bar
[Chorus]
GAD
So pick em up and drink em down
BmA
This is the last and final round
GD
Where everybody soon forgets your name
EA
And your life it goes down the drain
[Verse 3]
DA
Well, this place could make Fellini look like ring around the rose
D
My love life's a disaster, my job's in the commode
G
So pour another cold one, a pickle in a jar
DAD
'Cause I'm just treadin' water at the deep end of the bar
[Instrumental]
