[Verse]
G B Em
There's only one bar in this town I get drunk at,
C D
still I have open tabs at two.
G B Em
I dated the waitress at the third bar I'm thinking of,
A D
and there's four bars in this town I can't even go into.
G B Em
My friend Kenny used to tend bar at the fifth one,
C D
still tends bar at the sixth one too.
G B Em
The seventh bar on this block has a kick-ass jukebox,
A D
the eighth one will let you smoke inside after two.
G B Em
I've sung songs in about nine bars in east Nashville, Tennessee,
C D
but I know I've been to at least ten.
G B Em
I'll always go back to good ol' eleventh street bar in New York City,
A D
when the twelve bar blues has got me down again.
[Chorus]
G B Em
I got, twelve bar blues,
C D G
too many bars to choose.
G B Em
Well I will drink tonight,
A D G
and get me feeling alright
[Verse]
G B Em
How many roads must a man walk down,
C D
to find an affordable bar in the city of Los Angeles
G B Em
Or even more so to find some affordable company,
A D
seems you have to pay for the conversation there in one way or another
even if you're not directly involved.
G B Em
You're always overhearing that story about the one that got away,
C D
or the movie script that one is writing that's gonna change everything.
G B Em
Feel like if writing stuff down really changed anything,
A D
a lot more people would know who Philip Levine is.
G B Em
He was an American poet laureate,
C D
Wonder why my teachers forgot to tell me about him in school,
G B Em
probably 'cause his poems got bad words in them.
A D
Talk about board of education, American style.
[Chorus]
