Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
There's  a coke machine glowin through the parking lot
Call  it a room with a view
This  was the best night of pool that I ever shot
I  made a lot of money too
I  was looking for some companyss
In  the weekly scene-i
Seen  an ad it just had to be you
I  hadn't seen you since New Orleans
And  I never did figure out where you ran off to
 I know I looked bad the last time you saw me
 But lately I been doing all right
 I won a tournament last week in Oklahoma City
 Hustled half of this town tonight
 I got some cocaine if you want some
 It's the best that I could find
 Hey we could just sit here and talk all night
 If that big ol' guy out in the car don't mind
Like  old times
Screw  off the top on a bottle  of wine
Living  out our own kind of  American dream
Old  times
Your  goal was always the same  as mine
You  didn't want to throw a fishing  line in that  old main stream
 You know I ain't expecting anybody but you
 I don't know who this could be at the door
 But I'm pretty sure that you got a clue
 And I bet that you've been to this hotel before
 Put the you-know-what in the bathroom but
 Don't flush it down just yet
 Put your pager in my suitcase
 I'll get the window
 You light a cigarette
 It'll be like
 Old times
 Just like the old times
 Living out our own kind of American dream
 Old times
 Your goal was always the same as mine
 You didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
No  sir officer you don't understand
We're  just two old friends drinkin' wine
I'm  sure she is but that's not all she is
She's  also an old friend of mine
I  got her high school picture right here in my wallet - 1982
No  sir officer no offense taken
You  have a good night too
 Good thing we didn't throw this away baby
 Turn up that radio
 I'm pretty sure that cop knew what we were up to
 I guess he just decided to let us go
 Don't make such a thing about that picture
 That was just something I kept
 Don't get all sentimental on me now girl
 You haven't even told me what your new name is yet
 Old times
 Just like the old times
 Living out our own kind of American dream
 Old times
 Your goal was always the same as mine
 You didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
