D           D/F#        D/F#           D
Her mama always told her to hold out for a good man
D/F#           D         D/F#             D
Sounded like a good plan all those years ago
G
  A little house with a picket fence
G
  Simple life with a couple kids
       Bm                              A
But tonight she's just looking for a shoulder


[Chorus 1]
        D/F#        G
She was hoping for pink champagne
           D
But she'll settle for well whiskey
       G
Saw herself in a long white gown
    D
Not downtown gettin' tipsy
         Bm
And that one-night stand walking through the door
          G                                D/F#  G
Ain't the marrying kind, yeah that's for sure
                  D      D/F#  G
But she's gettin' older
                      D
And the bar's gettin' lower


[Verse 2]
    D               D/F#         D/F#               D
Her dreams are disappearing like smoke from his cigarette
    D/F#         D              D/F#         D
She hasn't said "Yes" but she's thinking she might
    G
The closer it gets to closing time
  G
A lonely heart will take a pick-up line
Bm                               A
Anything to get her through the night


[Chorus 2]
        D/F#        G
She was hoping for pink champagne
           D
But she'll settle for well whiskey
       G
Saw herself in a long white gown
    D
Not downtown gettin' tipsy
         Bm
And that drunk cowboy tellin' her lies
          G                       D/F#  G
Ain't the John Wayne she had in mind
                  D      D/F#  G
But she's gettin' older
                      D
And the bar's gettin' lower


[Interlude]
|G  |G  |D  |D  |


[Chorus 3]
          Bm
She could thank you for the drink and walk away
G
  Live to love another day
      D              D/F#  G
But she's gettin' older
                        Bm      A  G
And the night's gettin' colder
