[Intro]
| C | C | C | C |
| C | C | C | C |
[Verse 1]
C F C
She's not a kid anymore
F G7 C
She can hide her age in these dim lights
F G7 C Am
Waitin' tables in this bar ain't what she's lookin' for
F G G7
The short years fly by but oh, the long, long nights
[Verse 2]
C F C
A bar tends to make a woman hard
F G7 C
Read a story in the lines beneath her eyes
F G C Am
As tips hit the table, they jingle and they jangle
F G C
Get her by a quarter at a time
[Chorus]
F G C Am
She's getting by a quarter at a time
F G7 C C7
A diamond in the rough has lost her shine
F G7 C Am
Slingin' drinks at least will pay the rent again
F G7 C
Get her by a quarter at a time
[Post-Chorus]
| C | C | C | C |
[Verse 3]
C F C
Another man stands up to leave
F G C
She's always been left behind
F G7 C Am
The change she's waitin' for keeps walkin' out the door
