I set that table up for two
C
In the same old corner booth
F C
I could set my watch down to the second
Am G
He walks through the door
C
It’s that same bottle of red
C
That same old how ya been
F C
I fill two glasses up just like I’ve done
Am G
A thousand times before
F
Then I let him be
CHORUS:
F
Everybody says he’s crazy
F
That old man done lost his mind
C G
But he ain’t missed a date with her since 1959
F
Sometimes he laughs sometimes he cries
F Am7 G F
He’ll sit there every Friday night just reminiscing yeah
Dm F
But he ain’t talking to himself
Am7 G F
He’s talking to hea-e-e-e-e-e-ven
Am G F
To hea-e-e-e-e-e-ven
VERSE:
C
Well he orders for them both
C
Then he reaches in his coat
C
He pulls out a faded polaroid
Am G
Same table, their first date
C
Yeah he always shows it to me
C
And says ain’t she a beauty
C
I smile and nod my head
Am G
And then I turn and walk away
F
And just let him be
CHORUS:
F
Everybody says he’s crazy
F
And that old man done lost his mind
C G
But he ain’t missed a date with her since 1959
F
Sometimes he laughs sometimes he cries
F Am7 G F
He’ll sit there every Friday night just reminiscing oh oh

BREAK:

Oh he reaches for his wallet
G
As I clear off the coffee
F C G
He looks across the table with a tear and a smile
Am7

And yes I tipped the waiter
F
Starring at an empty booth
Dm7 Dm7
He says I love you too
