Horshoe Lounge

[D]Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke
While I [G]pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
[D]Raising up my bottle I looked for a chance
As you [G]set your glass down on the bar with a glance at me

-i
[A]Down at the [G]Horseshoe [D]Lounge
[A]Shuffleboard and [G]neon [D]light
[A]Down at the [G]Horseshoe [D]Lounge
[A]Cigarettes and [G]whiskey to[D]night

Ricky said 'She's out of your league, let her go'
As I watched you pick your partner on that old dance floor
I know it didn't work out the first time we tried
But I'd do anything to have you by my side again

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a Miller Lite
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
I sit here thinking 'bout you every night

[G]Were you the one who [D]faltered
Was [A]I the one who [D]strayed
Maybe [G]God left us [D]out of the plans he [A]made

So here's to missed beginnings and things that never start
For these are the ghosts that run around in my heart
When I see that where I'm going isn't where I want to be
I get the urge to look you up see if you would come and meet me

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Hey, buddy have you got a light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
One more and I'll be alright

Repeat Chorus 2

Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke
(Sing slowly) While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
