And he's [C] quick with a [G/B] joke or a [F/A] light up your [C/G] smoke,
But there's [F] some place that's [G7sus4] he'd rather [C] be [F/C]
He says, " [C] Bill, I be - [G/B] lieve this is [F/A] killing me," [C/G]
As the [F] smile ran a - [C/E] way from his [D7] face [G]

And the [C] Waitress is [G/B] practicing [F/A] politics [C/G]
As the [F] businessmen [C/E] slowly get [D7] stoned [G]
