THE GOOD LIFE - NOTES IN HIS POCKETS
Dm
Drunk at the bar at last, last call
A# Dm
my baby’s home on her night off,
Dm
So I’m involved in a serious talk
A# Dm
with a girl I had known growing up.
A# Dm
So we buy a six; decide to split –
A# Dm
she has a downtown apartment.
A A#
She opens the door, falls to the floor,
Dm A# Gm A
says, “I’m bitter sick of sweet and pure, take me now I’m yours.”
Dm A# Gm A
Notes in his pockets, rumors in the mill,
Dm A# Gm A
phone calls after the bars close – unlisted numbers.
A# Dm
If she only knew, then he’d be through
A# Dm
but who knows which parts are true.
A A#
She hates how it looks, but what can she do?
Dm A# Gm A
The girls all talk behind her back, they say she’s being used.
Dm
At Sullivan’s drinking with Justin,
A# Dm
he says he’s seen my ex-girlfriend.
Dm
She’s back in town – and what’s worse
A# Dm
he knows where and when she works.
A# Dm
So we head over to the Underwood,
A# Dm
she’s trading shots with regulars:
A A#
She gives me a hug ‘til our hips are flush
Dm A# Gm A
says, “Boy, we’ve hardly kept in touch – it’s time for catching up.”
Dm A# Gm A
Notes in his pockets, rumors in the mill.
Dm A# Gm A
Phone calls after the bars close – unlisted numbers.
A# Dm
Still, he insists on his innocence;
A# Dm
says those girls are all gossips.
A A#
She’s gotta drop the axe –catch him in the act
Dm A# Gm A
with his shame around his ankles, chain the guilt around his neck.
