Bowling Alley Bar chords by The Handsome Family

VERSE 1:
    D
Dented cars make me think of you
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.

PRE-CHORUS:
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.

PRE-CHORUS:
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.
