[G] There's a few too many years on [D] this old tale
That [G] she used to be a beauty [D] you can tell
And [E] the lights down in the lobby they [D] don't shine
[G] They just flicker while the [D] elevator whines
[G] There's a couple in the corner of the [D] bar
They [G] travel light and clearly [Dm] travel far
[D] She's got nothing left to learn about his heart
And [G] they're sitting there a thousand [D] miles apart
Baby, [A] let's not ever [D] get that way
[Am] I'll say whatever words I need [D] to say
I'll [G] throw rocks at your window [D] from the street
[G] And we'll call ourselves the flagship of [D] the fleet
[G] There's a lady shining shoes up by [D] the door
[G] Cowboy boots for seven [D] dollars more
I [Em] remember how you loved to see [D] them shine
So [Em] I run upstairs to get a [D] pair of mine
And [G] there's a painting on the wall beside the [D] bed
Of [G] the watercolor sky, [D] hilt and head
[Em] And I see you in that summer when [D] we met
And that boy you left in tears in his Corvette
[Am] Baby, let's not [D] ever get that way
[Am] I'll drive you to the ocean [D] every day
And [G] we'll stay up in the presidential [D] suite
And [G] call ourselves the flagship [D] of the fleet

You've got to learn to keep yourself [D] naive
And [G] in spite of all the [D] evidence believed
[Em] Volunteer to lose touch [D] with the world
And focus [G] on one solitary [D]
girl
[Am] Baby, let's not live to see [D] it in a thing
[Am] I'll cancel all the plans [D] I've ever made
[G] I'll drive and you can ride in the [D] backseat
And [G] we'll call ourselves the flagship of the fleet

[N] And Amanda Shire is on the fiddle
The wife from Lubbock, Texas
We're real glad she's out here on the road with us
She can't always come out, she's got her own shows, her own shit to do
But we're very happy that she's on this tour with us
And that last song is one that I don't ever play unless she's here
So we all got lucky today
[A] It's more than our ways to get up every day
