The Wishing Well

	  		 
 
Intro: (G)  (G)  (D)  (G)  (G)  (D)  (G) 
 
Well I (G) run a little tavern on a dead end street 
And my (C9) ears are pretty bent 
By the time I close at three 
Every(D)body's got a wish that (C9) comes in (G) here 
A (D) little amnesia for the (C9) price of a beer 
And (G) Dale knows that I know all about his wife 
And (C9) what it is she's doing and 
Who she's with tonight 
But I don't (D) say a word about it 
And (C9) neither does (G) he 
He just (D) talks about them Dodgers 
And (C9) buys another drink 
 
  Down at The (G) Wishing Well  
  Forgetfulness is (Em7) what's for sale 
  To help wash away the (Am7) sin of lovers and friends 
  Or just for(D)give themselves 
  A place to throw their (G) money down 
  In hopes of getting (Em7) lost or found 
  You ought to hear the (Am7) stories  
  They don't (D) tell 
  Down at The (Cmaj7) Wishing Well 
 
Repeat Intro 
 
They say (G) Gina was a heartbreaker 
Back in her day 
But (C9) years and hard living 
Put the lines on her face 
Now she (D) only wants a man 
Who can (C9) see her like be(G)fore 
So she (D) sips her margarita and (C9) watches the door 
 
  Down at The (G) Wishing Well  
  Forgetfulness is (Em7) what's for sale 
  To help wash away the (Am7) sin of lovers and friends

Solo 
 
Yeah I'll (D) pour you a drink seven nights a week 
And I'll (C9) listen to what you say or you don't  
Cause that's (Am7) how I forget 
The reasons that I'm a(D)lone 
 
  Down here at The (G) Wishing Well  
  Forgetfulness is (Em7) what's for sale 
  To help wash away the (Am7) sin of lovers and friends 
  Or just for(D)give ourselves 
  A place to throw our (G) money down 
  In hopes of getting (Em7) lost or found 
  You ought to hear the (Am7) stories
