[D] [A]
Well, [D]
[A]
[D] [A]
it's not silly when [D] she brings you [A] your chili
To grab a cracker and [D] distract her with a crunch
A cracker crunch
Because you'll only [D] see [A] her once Only this one time at lunch
And she might as well see you too
[D] Ah, it's the last time
You're passing [A] through
And it's not rude when [D] she takes away [A] your food
To touch her fingers and [D] let them linger a while
With [A] your loneliness and the cracker crunch
Because you'll only touch her once Only this [D] one [A] time at lunch
And she might as well touch you too
Ah, it's the last time
You're passing through
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[E] [A]
Yes, it's not strange when [D] she brings you your [A]
change
To bend down and kiss her [D] and whisper you'll miss her forever
Mmm, a cracker crunch
Because you'll only [A] love her once Only [D] this one time at [A] lunch
And she might as well [D] love you [A]
too
Ah, it's the [D] last time
You're passing through
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[A]
[D]
A waitress asked me what I did
I told her [Bm] I tried to make [A] art
She asked me if I made any money
I said, no, I have to teach [D] to do that
[A] She asked me what I taught and where
I told her
She told me she liked art, but that she couldn't draw a straight line
[D] [A] I told her if she could reach for something and pick it up
She could draw a line that was straight enough
[B] She said she wasn't interested in that [A] kind of drawing
[D] But it always liked horses
[A] I said I did too, but they are hard to draw
She said yes, that was very true
Said she could do the body [D] okay
[A] But never get the head, tail, or legs
I told her she was drawing sausages, not horses
[D] She [A] said no, they were horses
[D] [A]
