[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
There was a [D]pool table
there at the wedding
That most of the men [A]stood [D]and played
Whilst the [G]women danced
in their melancholy
[D]Till the last record started to [A]fade
And as [G]D.J. turned the lights up
And packed his records away
He [D]noticed [A]a lonely [D]figure still there
So quietly turned [A]to say

[Verse 2]
[G]Tears you thought lasted a lifetime
[D]Won't last too much
more than a [E]day
And [G]you'll prove that you still
have your strength left
[D]When you wipe those tears well away,
[Bm]well away
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Roses in [Bm]garden [B]bring joy[A]
to the [D]bleak
[Bm]Lilies save wretched from [A]worse
[D]Music lifts [Bm]up those too
[A]weary [D]to speak
[Bm]So, sister you sing the next verse

[Interlude 1]
[A][D]

[Verse 4]
The [D]path in life that you have taken
I can figure out just from your frown
[G]Either it's down the up escalator
[D]Or maybe sometimes up the [A]down
And you [G]may not feel that
you have travelled
[D]But[G] sure as hell been across town
And cer[D]tainly if story unravelled
You've lost more than
you ever [A]found

[Verse 5]
[G]One thing's for certain I've travelled
[D]And a not too dissimilar rou[E]te
Those [G]ups and downs and
rounds after rounds
You're [D]wearing them just like [Bm]a suit,
like a suit
[A]

[Verse 6]
So if [D]roses [Bm]brin[B]g joy[A]
to the [D]bleak
[Bm]Lilies save wretched from [A]worse
[D]Music lifts [Bm]up those too
[A]weary [D]to speak
Then [Bm]D.J. I'll take the next verse
[A]

[Verse 7]
[G]So sister judge strength not by [D]muscle
Or [A]weight that your body can [D]lift
But by [G]heavyweight heart that you [D]carry
That no [A]other young woman could [D]shift
[G]Hey Mr D.J. [D]a special request
Play that [A]last [D]record [A]for me[D]
And [G]make it as [D]long [G]an d as [D]painfully sad
As [A]any slow ballad could [D]be

[Outro 1]
[A][D][G][D][A][D][G][D][A]
