VERSE:
            C
I set that table up for two
        C
In the same old corner booth
         F               C
I could set my watch down to the second
Am                    G
He walks through the door

           C
It’s that same bottle of red
      C
That same old how ya been
            F               C
I fill two glasses up just like I’ve done
   Am               G
A thousand times before
        F
Then I let him be


CHORUS:
      F
Everybody says he’s crazy
          F
That old man done lost his mind
    C                                      G
But he ain’t missed a date with her since 1959

              F
Sometimes he laughs sometimes he cries
                 F                           Am7   G  F
He’ll sit there every Friday night just reminiscing  yeah

              Dm                F
But he ain’t talking to himself
                Am7       G    F
He’s talking to hea-e-e-e-e-e-ven
   Am        G    F
To hea-e-e-e-e-e-ven


VERSE:
         C
Well he orders for them both
     C
Then he reaches in his coat
    C
He pulls out a faded polaroid
      Am                 G
Same table, their first date

         C
Yeah he always shows it to me
     C
And says ain’t she a beauty
   C
I smile and nod my head
            Am             G
And then I turn and walk away
          F
And just let him be


CHORUS:
      F
Everybody says he’s crazy
              F
And that old man done lost his mind
    C                                      G
But he ain’t missed a date with her since 1959

              F
Sometimes he laughs sometimes he cries
                 F                           Am7   G    F
He’ll sit there every Friday night just reminiscing  oh oh

              Dm                F
But he ain’t talking to himself
                Am        G    F
He’s talking to hea-e-e-e-e-e-ven
   Am        G    C
To hea-e-e-e-e-e-ven


BDA K:
       Am7
Oh he reaches for his wallet
   G
As I clear off the coffee
    F                             C          G
He looks across the table with a tear and a smile

        Am7
He says babe I’ll see you later
     G
And yes I tipped the waiter
         F
Starring at an empty booth
          Dm7         Dm7
He says I love you too


CHORUS:
      F
Everybody says he’s crazy
              F
