verse 1: 
                       G   
Listen mister, I won't waste your time  
  D                                     G              D 
I hope all the mistakes you made were a lot like mine 
                                     G   
Loving girls too much sometimes they made you cry  
D                                        A7 
Maybe we've got more living to do with a lot less pain  
                         D 
Here let's drink to you 


verse 2: 
                                 G              D 
These are the words I knew would break the ice 
                          G               D 
I held my hand out and he shook it twice  
                              G            Em 
It seemed to me like I'd been here before 
           F#m            G   
Deja vu, familiar voice 
               A7sus4         D 
And the salute of my choice 


verse 3: 
                    G             D 
Salute gentlemen of days gone by  
                         G              D 
Ladies of leisure and of flashing eye  
                            G               D 
May some romantic fool turn on your light  
                                    A7                  D 
As for me, I'm in between, all that I can do is dream 



                             G     D 
You got a lot more living to do  
                      G  
And a lot more loving too 
         D 
When you make it through the night with no end in sight  
        G                   Em   F#m   G   
And the dawn peeks through 
          A7sus4             D 
You got a lot more living to do
