its a pretty good crowd for a saturday And the manager gives me a smile
G C Em/B Am C/G F G11 C
Cause he knows that its me they've been coming to see To forget about life for a while
C F/C Cmaj7 G11 C Em/B Am C/G F C/E D7
And the piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer
C Em/B Am C/G F G11 C
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say man what are you doing here?
