The Jukebox Played Along

G                                 
Well I got off work and headed for
         D7
 town to have a few
Determined I would drown the pain of
 G
 losing you
But this couple on the dance floor 
     C
were dropping quarters in a slot
         D7                  
And this heartless thing kept 
              G
spinning old forget-me-nots

The jukebox played along to my 
C
misery in song
        D7                         
Just as if it felt the pain that I 
    G
was going through
Oh it wailed out Crying Time and You
      C
 Were Always On My Mind

      D7                       
I was singing the blues and the 
                G
jukebox played along

Well the more I drank the more it 
       D7
became a mystery
How the men who wrote these songs 
           G
wrote then just for me
They must have hid out in my closet 
        C
or they had to read my mail
       D7                          
Lord I must have heard at least ten
         G
 dollars worth of Hell

Oh the jukebox played along to my 
C
misery in song
        D7                         
Just as if it felt the pain that I 
    G
was going through
It played I'm Born To Lose and I 
C
Can't Stop Loving You
      D7                       
I was singing the blues and the 
                G
jukebox played along

D7                           G
They played Watson and Jones Travis 
kept picking up bones
D7                          G
Somebody Laughed and I'm So Lonesome
 I Could Cry
D7                       G
There Goes My Everything they played
 Golden Rings
D7                           G
They played Haggard and Hank give me
 another drink
