[Intro] |D |D |G |G | x2 [Verse 1]
    D           D/F#        D/F#           D
Her mama always told her to hold out for a good man

D/F#           D         D/F#             D
Sounded like a good plan all those years ago

G
  A little house with a picket fence

G
  Simple life with a couple kids

       Bm                              A
But tonight she's just looking for a shoulder
[Chorus 1]
        D/F#        G
She was hoping for pink champagne

           D
But she'll settle for well whiskey

       G
Saw herself in a long white gown

    D
Not downtown gettin' tipsy

         Bm
And that one-night stand walking through the door

          G                                D/F#  G
Ain't the marrying kind, yeah that's for sure

                  D      D/F#  G
But she's gettin' older

                      D
And the bar's gettin' lower
[Verse 2]
    D               D/F#         D/F#               D
Her dreams are disappearing like smoke from his cigarette

    D/F#         D              D/F#         D
She hasn't said "Yes" but she's thinking she might

    G
The closer it gets to closing time

  G
A lonely heart will take a pick-up line

Bm                               A
Anything to get her through the night
[Chorus 2]
        D/F#        G
She was hoping for pink champagne

           D
But she'll settle for well whiskey

       G
Saw herself in a long white gown

    D
Not downtown gettin' tipsy

         Bm
And that drunk cowboy tellin' her lies

          G                       D/F#  G
Ain't the John Wayne she had in mind

                  D      D/F#  G
But she's gettin' older

                      D
And the bar's gettin' lower
[Interlude] |G |G |D |D | [Chorus 3]
          Bm
She could thank you for the drink and walk away

G
  Live to love another day

      D              D/F#  G
But she's gettin' older

                        Bm      A  G
And the night's gettin' colder
And the bar's gettin' lower [Outro] |D |D |G |G | x2
