D
There’s still a cigarette machine
by the shovelboard
                                             G
A coin drop jukebox full of songs you don’t hear
much anymore
Bm                      A              G
Names and dates carved right into the tabletops
        D
An old pickle jar sittin’ on the bar where your
money goes
                                           G
Same old dudes every afternoon playin’ dominoes
Bm                     A           G
Six bucks buys a cold beer and a shot

Chorus:
            D
And I pray time just forgets
To turn places like this into
G
Drive-thrus and condos
                                 D
Lord knows we need those little holes in the wall
D
For lost souls and old stray dogs
Bm                A                G
God bless two for ones and broken hearts
                 D  G D G
And cool little bars

The faded paint is covered up with dollar bills
From regulars and amateurs that all had time to kill
It's cookie-cutter corporate on this street
So, Lord, as I sit me down to drink

Chorus:
I pray time just forgets
To turn places like this into
Drive-thrus and condos
Lord knows we need those
Little holes in the wall
For lost souls and old stray dogs
God bless two-for-ones and broken hearts
And cool little bars

      Em                              G
Now I ain’t sure how long this one’s been around
       Em                         G
But I know for sure I’m on holy ground

Chorus:
And I pray time just forgets
To turn places like this into
Drive-thrus and condos
Lord knows we need those
Little holes in the wall
For lost souls and old stray dogs
God bless two-for-ones and broken hearts
God bless two-for-ones and broken hearts
And cool little bars

             D  G
Cool little bars
Cool little bars
Cool little bars
