I added the chords for the rest of the song. All credit for this one is due to Ifabela...
DThere's a coke machine glowin through the parking lot
GCall it a room with a view
DThis was the best night of pool that I ever shot
GI made a lot of money too
GI was looking for some compaA7ny
GIn the weekly scene
A7I seen an ad, it just had to Gbe you
A7I hadn't seen you since New Orleans
A7And I never did figure out where you ran off to
DI know I looked bad the last time you saw me
GBut lately I been doing all right
DI won a tournament last week in Oklahoma City
GHustled half of this town tonight
GI got some cocA7aine 
GIf you want some
A7It's the best that I could Gfind
A7Hey we could just sit here and talk all night
A7If that big ol' guy out in the car don't mind
Chorus:
GLike old timesD  
A7Screw off the top on a bottlDe of wine
GLiving out our own kind Dof American dA7ream
GOld timesD  
A7Your goal was always the samDe as mine
GYou didn't want to throw a fiDshing line in that A7old main streaDm
DYou know I ain't expecting anybody but you
GI don't know who this could be at the door
DBut I'm pretty sure that you got a clue
GAnd I bet that you've been to this hotel before
GPut the you-know-what in the A7bathroom but
GDon't flush it down just yet
A7Put your pager in my suitGcase
A7I'll get the window
A7You light a cigarette, it'll be like
Chorus:
GOld timesD  
A7Just like the old Dtimes
GLiving out our own kind Dof American dA7ream
GOld timesD  
A7Your goal was always the samDe as mine
GYou didn't want to throw a fiDshing line in that A7old main streaDm
Bridge:
EmNo sir officer you don't understand
A7We're just two old friends drinkin' wine
EmI'm sure she is but that's not all she is
A7She's also an old friend of mine
EmI got her high school picture right here in my wallet - 1A7982
EmNo sir officer no offense taken
A7You have a good night too
DGood thing we didn't throw this away baby
GTurn up that radio
DI'm pretty sure that cop knew what we were up to
GI guess he just decided to let us go
GDon't make such a thing about A7that picture
GThat was just something I kept
A7Don't get all sentimental on me now girl
A7You haven't even told me what your new name is yet

There's a coke machine glowin through the parking lot

Call it a room with a view

This was the best night of pool that I ever shot

I made a lot of money too

G A7

I was looking for some company

In the weekly scene

A7 G

I seen an ad, it just had to be you

I hadn't seen you since New Orleans

And I never did figure out where you ran off to

I know I looked bad the last time you saw me

But lately I been doing all right

I won a tournament last week in Oklahoma City

Hustled half of this town tonight

G A7

I got some cocaine

If you want some

A7 G

It's the best that I could find

Hey we could just sit here and talk all night

If that big ol' guy out in the car don't mind

Chorus:

G D

Like old times

A7 D

Screw off the top on a bottle of wine

G D A7

Living out our own kind of American dream

G D

Old times

A7 D

Your goal was always the same as mine

G D A7 D

You didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream

You know I ain't expecting anybody but you

I don't know who this could be at the door

But I'm pretty sure that you got a clue

And I bet that you've been to this hotel before

G A7

Put the you-know-what in the bathroom but

Don't flush it down just yet

A7 G

Put your pager in my suitcase

I'll get the window

You light a cigarette, it'll be like

We're just two old friends drinkin' wine

I'm sure she is but that's not all she is

Em A7

I got her high school picture right here in my wallet - 1982

No sir officer no offense taken

You have a good night too

Good thing we didn't throw this away baby

Turn up that radio

I'm pretty sure that cop knew what we were up to

I guess he just decided to let us go

G A7

Don't make such a thing about that picture

That was just something I kept

Don't get all sentimental on me now girl

You haven't even told me what your new name is yet
