G D
sitting on a red leather stool
G D Bm
drinking with your sunglasses on
A G
at the bowling alley bar.
[VERSE 2]
D
And the sound of the crashing pins
G D
behind us when we kissed
G D Bm
the night I wrecked my father's car
A G G/F#
behind the bowling alley bar.
[PD-C HORUS]
Em G
I'm so sorry Donna,
A
sorry about your sunglasses.
Em G
I didn't mean to step on them;
A
I didn't mean to laugh when you cried.
[CHORUS]
G D A D
'Cause it was ne-ver a waste of time
G D
to drink beer by your side
G Bm D
and watch the fallen pins
A G
set up right again.
[INTERLUDE]
D G D G D Bm A G
[VERSE 3]
D
Skinny girls in tight red jeans
G D
kicking cigarette machines;
G D Bm
that old woman all alone
A G F#/G
dirty dancing by the phones.
[PD-C HORUS]
Em F#/G G
Driving circles at 3am,
A
throwing rocks at mailboxes,
Em F#/G G
you could never see the stars
A
with those plastic sunglasses on.
[CHORUS]
G D A D
But it was ne-ver a waste of time
G D
to get drunk by your side
G Bm D
and watch the fallen pins
A G
set up right again.
