Ab Oh no, another day begins C# Calenders and wristwatches are counting down my sins Ab Construction trucks outside are piling up the years C# After 25 the brides leave the single girls in tears Ab Eb5 God bless them, god bless them all C# 'Cause we've heard about what happens when their engine stalls Ab The tallest ones are mauled in the falls of the Midwest C# The quiet ones are farmed out to businessmen's requests Ab Eb5 And osteoperosis gets the rest C# They'll remember her best as charming and good-looking Ab Though they wouldn't take her now for all the beer in Brooklyn C# Her cooking is her pride but she sits alone for dinner Ab In the dark under faded posters of Lew Alcindor C# The local red-eyed bottles have settled in for the winter Ab Eb5 But you won't see me there C# I can't raise my glass and the others never cared Ab C# Ab Eb5 I'll drink my morning coffee without Irish and I will make amends Ab Eb5 Ab Eb5 Eb5 I miss the bottle I miss my friends, I miss the bottle I miss my friends
