VERSE 1:
D
Dented cars make me think of you
GD
sitting on a red leather stool
GDBm
drinking with your sunglasses on
AG
at the bowling alley bar.
VERSE 2:
D
And the sound of the crashing pins
GD
behind us when we kissed
GDBm
the night I wrecked my father's car
AG (G/F#)
behind the bowling alley bar.
PRE-CHORUS:
EmG
I'm so sorry Donna,
A
sorry about your sunglasses.
EmG
I didn't mean to step on them;
A
I didn't mean to laugh when you cried.
CHORUS:
GDAD
'Cause it was ne-ver a waste of time
GD
to drink beer by your side
GBmD
and watch the fallen pins
AG
set up right again.
INTERLUDE:
DGDGDBAG
VERSE 3:
D
Skinny girls in tight red jeans
GD
kicking cigarette machines;
GDBm
that old woman all alone
AG (F#/G)
dirty dancing by the phones.
PRE-CHORUS:
Em (F#/G) G
Driving circles at 3am,
A
throwing rocks at mailboxes,
Em (F#/G) G
you could never see the stars
A
with those plastic sunglasses on.
CHORUS:
GDAD
But it was ne-ver a waste of time
GD
to get drunk by your side
GBmD
and watch the fallen pins
AG
set up right again.
