Three Minutes At A Time

C                                  
With a pocket full of quarters and 
C7         F
time on my hands
         C                        
That old jukebox keeps calling my 
G7
name
C                                  
One day it might break me but I'll 
C7      F
pay the price
       C            G7        
For an evening with your memory 
  C
again


[Chorus]
G7                            F  
Three minutes at a time I get 
          C
lost in each song
     G7                        F  
It's heartache in rhyme but it 
           G7
helps me hang on
  C                     C7        
I drop a quarter in the jukebox 
        F                  Fm
and for a while you're still mine
Continues after the ad
    C          G7                 
I'm getting by three minutes at a 
C
time


                           C7   
Old Joe in the corner sits there 
       F
every night
           C                       
He's heard my story he knows every 
G7
line
C                              C7
My misery's in good company as 
          F
long as I'm here
        C           G7         C
In this barroom the past comes alive


[Chorus]
G7                            F  
Three minutes at a time I get 
          C
lost in each song
     G7                        F  
It's heartache in rhyme but it 
           G7
helps me hang on
  C                     C7        
I drop a quarter in the jukebox 
        F                  Fm
and for a while you're still mine
    C          G7                 
I'm getting by three minutes at a 
C
time


                        C7         
I drop a quarter in the jukebox and
       F                  Fm
 for a while you're still mine
    C          G7                 
I'm getting by three minutes at a 
F  C
time
