[Verse]
D                             G         D
I come here each night right after the show
                             A7
And sit here like we used to do
            G                          D             Bm
I’ll drop quarters in the jukebox and play them old songs
     D          A7          D
And try not to think about you
G      D           A7      D
Oh, I try not to think of you
 
[Verse]
D                          G            D
There were so many things you said you wanted 
                             A7
Things that I just couldn’t give
        G                       D          Bm
Like a house with a yard and a husband at home
        D              A7         D
But for me that’s just no way to live
G          D          A7     D
No, that’s no way for me to live
 
[Chorus]
    G                  D
So all that I need is all I have left
                        A7
And all that’s left for me
       G                     D           Bm
Is an old roadside diner, a hot cup of coffee,
    D            A7  D
A Jukebox, and a memory
G      D             A7  D
Oh, a Jukebox, and a memory
 
[Verse]
D                           G           D
The waitress smiles as she pours me my coffee
                              A7
She sits down and asks me my name
      G                D             Bm
She touches my hand as we sit there talking
          D            G           D
She’s an old hand at playing this game
G              D            A7          D
Yes, she’s an old hand at playing this game
 
[Verse]
D                      G          D
The look in her eyes tells me a story
                          A7
A story of heartache and pain
    G                   D         Bm
I know that I could go with her tonight
        D            A7       D
But it just wouldn’t be the same
G       D            A7      D
No, it just wouldn’t be the same
 
[Chorus]
     G                  D
So, all that I need is all I have left
                        A7
And all that’s left for me
       G                     D          Bm
Is an old roadside diner, a hot cup of coffee,
    D            A7  D
A Jukebox, and a memory
G      D             A7  D
Oh, a Jukebox, and a memory
 
[Verse]
D                          G             D
The waitress gets up and stands their beside me
                               A7
And says, “you don’t need to explain”
             G                     D             Bm
I leave a twenty on the table and walk out that door
     D          G           D
Outside in the cool summer rain
G    D        A7        D
And softly I call your name
G    D          A7         D
Oh, softly I whisper your name
