D       A           Bm                   G 
I?m not lying, but I might be wrong The old man had all he could want 
D               A             F#7  Bm    A          G 
Asleep in his chair cigar almost gone In the other room 
D        A                   Bm                   G 
Holy shit, those holy shirts Perfect fit as the holes all got worse

He burned through the cotton like he burned through vermouth, in the other room

Lost some teeth but kept their bite In times of peace they?d always pick fights 
D       A                     F#7  Bm    A          G 
When company came they?d both go and hide in the other room

If he left his cave it better be worth it If he said come in then you certainly earned it 
 
Chorus 
G             D/F#          Em   G        A7   D 
There?s nothing I?d rather do than to just be with him in the other room

The tennis balls they used to play catch went on his walk or so the floors wouldn?t scratch 
D         A      F#7  Bm    A          G 
If you listen close you could hear his feet track in the other room

Not quite drunk on Philadelphia rye only wanted a hug from his wife 
D        A                     F#7  Bm    A          G 
So he calls her name and  he can?t remember why in the other room

But she?d still be there and it was all worth it a kiss on the face and together they?re perfect 
 
 
 
G   D/F#      Em   G       A7                         D

She don?t want to tell him it?s already gone but he?ll see her soon in the other room 
Bm       F#7         D                                               E
