 A                        D                    A 
Well it's not silly when she brings you your chili 
 A                       D                    A 
To grab a cracker and distract her with the crunch 
  A    D       A 
(The cracker crunch) 
  A                 D       A 
'Cause you'll only see her once 
  A        D            A 
Only this one time at lunch 
  A               D            A 
And she might as well see you too 
  A           D 
Ah it's the last time (it's the last time, it's the last time) 
   D               A     D A 
You're passing through 


 A                      D                    A 
And it's not rude when she takes away your food 
 A                               D                         A 
To touch her fingers and let em linger awhile with your loneliness 
  A    D       A 
(Mmm, cracker crunch) 
  A                  D         A 
'Cause you'll only touch her once 
  A       D            A 
Only this one time at lunch 
 A                D              A 
And she might as well touch you too 
 A           D 
Ah it's the last time (it's the last time, it's the last time) 
 D               A     D A 
You're passing through 


A D A  A D A  A D A  A D A  A D A  A D A 
Instrumental break 

 A                         D                    A 
Yes it's not strange when she brings you your change 
 A                              D                         A 
To bend down and kiss her and whisper you'll miss her forever 
  A      D      A 
(mmm, cracker crunch) 
  A                 D        A 
'Cause you'll only love her once 
  A        D            A 
Only this one time at lunch 
 A                D             A 
And she might as well love you too 
 A            D 
Ah, it's the last time (it's the last time, it's the last time) 
 D               A 
You're passing through 


(vamping back and forth from A to D during this spoken epilogue): 

 A       D      A          
A waitress asked me what I did. 
 A       D      A         
I told her I tried to make art. 
 A           D      A  
She asked me if I made any money. 
 A          D          A 
I said no, I have to teach to do that. 
 A              D                            A 
She asked me what I taught and where. I told her. 
 A                    D                     A 
She told me she liked art but that she couldn't draw a straight line. 
 A                 D                    A 
I told her that if she could reach for something and pick it up 
 A                D                    A 
she could draw a line that was straight enough. 
 A                 D            
She said she wasn't interested in that kind of drawing 
     A 
but had always liked horses. 
  A             D                  A 
I said I did too, but they are hard to draw. 
  A               D            A 
She said yes, that was very true. 
  A                  D                   A 
Said she could do the body okay but never get the head, tail or legs. 
  A                 D               A 
I told her she was drawing sausages, not horses. 
  A         D              A 
She said no, they were horses.
