1. In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox,
                                             Em    - A
    with the best of country music, old and new,
                              A7             A
    you can hear your five selections for a quarter,
                         A7                     D
    and somebody else's songs when yours are through. 
           D
    I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter,
                              D7               G
    and my friends around to help me ease the pain,
                                                D
    'til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song,
         Em              A            D
    and here I am just missing you again. 
 - - - - - -   D                Em - A
Please, Mr., please, don't play B -17,
       Em                A                 G - D                                 
it was our song, it was his song, but it's over.
                             Em          A
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean,
           Em                  A            D
I don't ever wanna hear that song again.
         D 
2. If I had a dime for every time I held you,
                                                 Em    - A
   though you're far away, you've been so close to me.
                              A7              A
    I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville,
                        A7            D
    maybe even in the state of Tennessee. 
            D
    But I guess I'd better get myself together ,
                                      D7               G
    'cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind,
                                                 D
    just a note that said, "I'm sorry", by your picture,
          Em                    A           D
    and a song that's weighing heavy on my mind.
