| Verse Two: (chords the same as Verse One) |
| You and me we're just a couple a zeros |
| Just a couple of down and outs |
| But movie stars and football heroes |
| What do they have to be unhappy about |
| So they turn to the bartender, "Sam, what do you think |
| What's the key that unlocks that door" |
| Sam don't say nothin just wipes off the bar |
| And he pours them a couple more |
| Chorus Two: (chords in all four choruses are the same) |
