Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
Two  men sit in the corner of a diner
 Both of them look quite a bit like Carl Reiner
 One of them is smoking even though the sign says not to
 The waitress says to stop, he says sorry but I've got to
 They tell each other jokes that they both know that they both know
 They talk about real estate, prostates, Costco
 And when they finish up they leave a twenty on the table
 The waitress picks it up with their half-eaten bagels
 And when  her shift is over she goes back  to Mineola
Sits  on the couch, opens up  a diet cola and says
I'm  so, I'm  so sick of this place  I'm so ready  for a change of pace
I'm  just looking  for a new routine
 So she spins her globe  and the next thing you know
 She's living in Liechtenstein
 She doesn't  speak German, only high school Spanish
 But within a few weeks she discovers she can manage
 But there's not much going on except for banking and skiing
 So she breaks up with the man that she just started seeing
 He drops  her at the airport in a diesel  Mercedes
Thinks  to himself I'm so feeble  with the ladies and I
I'm  so, I'm  so sick of this place  I'm so ready  for a change of pace
I'm  just looking  for a new routine
 So he grabs his cap,  throws a dart at a map
 And now he's living in Bowling Green
 He talks  his way inta a job at La Quinta
Falls  for the manager who's moving back to Canada
She's  tried Roanoke, Reykjavik, Rome
Says  you're really sweet but I just want to go home
 
Two  men sit in the corner of a diner
 One of them says I might take a trip to China
 It's one of those things we should do before we're too old
 Thanks but no thanks, bring me back an egg roll
 Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
