Key: D
Introduction:
D G D
I come here each night right after the show
A7
And sit here like we used to do
G D Bm
I&rsquo ll drop quarters in the jukebox and play them old songs
D A7 D
And try not to think about you
G D A7 D
Oh, I try not to think of you
D G D
There were so many things you said you wanted
A7
Things that I just couldn&rsquo t give
G D Bm
Like a house with a yard and a husband at home
D A7 D
But for me that&rsquo s just no way to live
G D A7 D
No, that&rsquo s no way for me to live
G D
So all that I need is all I have left
A7
And all that&rsquo s left for me
G D Bm
Is an old roadside diner, a hot cup of coffee,
D A7 D
A Jukebox, and a memory
G D A7 D
Oh, a Jukebox, and a memory
D G D
The waitress smiles as she pours me my coffee
A7
She sits down and asks me my name
G D Bm
She touches my hand as we sit there talking
D G D
She&rsquo s an old hand at playing this game
G D A7 D
Yes, she&rsquo s an old hand at playing this game
D G D
The look in her eyes tells me a story
A7
A story of heartache and pain
G D Bm
I know that I could go with her tonight
D A7 D
But it just wouldn&rsquo t be the same
G D A7 D
No, it just wouldn&rsquo t be the same
G D
So, all that I need is all I have left
A7
And all that&rsquo s left for me
G D Bm
Is an old roadside diner, a hot cup of coffee,
D A7 D
A Jukebox, and a memory
G D A7 D
Oh, a Jukebox, and a memory
D G D
The waitress gets up and stands their beside me
A7
And says, &ldquo you don&rsquo t need to explain&rdquo
G D Bm
I leave a twenty on the table and walk out that door
D G D
Outside in the cool summer rain
G D A7 D
And softly I call your name
G D A7 D
Oh, softly I whisper your name
