INTRO
C5 , G5 , A5 , F5 , G5 , C5  X1


VERSE 1
C5                  G5
I've got my eye on top shelf liquor,
     A5
With taste so smooth it

Hits you quicker.
    F5           G5       C5
But you've only got the well.
    C5                   G5
And I've got an eye for top tier women
     A5
With legs so long they go straight to heaven,
    F5              G5          C5
But this old bunch looks like hell.


CHORUS
    F5       C5    G5    A5   F5 G5   C5
But tonight I'll take what I can get.


VERSE 2
C5                  G5
I'd like to hear a great musician
     A5
With strange ideas and grand ambition,
    F5                  G5            C5
But this guy, he's got trouble with chords.
    C5                 G5
And I'd like to leave this game a winner
A5
Head held high, the luck of beginners
    F5               G5               C5
But this old losers crawling out on all fours.


CHORUS
    F5       C5    G5    A5   F5 G5   C5
But tonight I'll take what I can get.


BRIDGE
     A5
Well this drink will do,
    F5
And girl you look all right,
    C5                         G5
And this band is playing like hell tonight.
A5
These dice are loaded
    F5
And Lord I am too
C5                         G5
I might be losing but I'm leaving soon.
         A5
With the prettiest girl
   F5
To enter this dump,
          C5                          G5
She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum
    A5           F5         C5 G5   C5   (little different than the main chorus)
And tonight I'll take what I can get


VERSE 3
C5                     G5
I've got my sights on brand new beginnings
A5
Brand new starts make saints of sinners
F5                 G5          C5
But I'm doomed to live in my past
C5                        G5
Live nude girls says the sign out front,
    A5
But old dead dreams are dancing in front,
   F5                      G5
Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck,
       C5
Buying love for cash


CHORUS
     F5       C5    G5    A5   F5 G5   C5
Well tonight I'll take what I can get.


VERSE 4
C5                   G5
This old story gets stale and dry,
   A5
No matter how I try and try to
F5               G5         C5
Spin this fable fresh and new
C5
You strung me along
       G5
Like a tease on prom night
A5
Getting me loose but leaving me uptight
F5
Please tell me that
G5                     C5
Some of that love was true.


CHORUS
F5       C5    G5    A5   F5 G5   C5
Tonight I'll take what I can get


BRIDGE

F5       C5    G5    A5   F5 C5   C5
Tonight I'll take what I can get
