[Verse]
Well I Grun a little tavern on a dead end street
And my Cadd9ears are pretty bent
By the time I close at three
Every Dbody's got a wish that Cadd9comes in Ghere
A Dlittle amnesia for the Cadd9price of a beer
And GDale knows that I know all about his wife
And Cadd9what it is she's doing and
Who she's with tonight
But I don't Dsay a word about it
And Cadd9neither does Ghe
He just Dtalks about them Dodgers
And Cadd9buys another drink
[Chorus]
Down at The GWishing Well
Forgetfulness is Em7what's for sale
To help wash away the Am7sin of lovers and friends
Or just for Dgive themselves
A place to throw their Gmoney down
In hopes of getting Em7lost or found
You ought to hear the Am7stories
They don't Dtell
Down at The Cmaj7Wishing Well
[Verse]
They say GGina was a heartbreaker
Back in her day
But Cadd9years and hard living
Put the lines on her face
Now she Donly wants a man
Who can Cadd9see her like be Gfore
So she Dsips her margarita and Cadd9watches the door
[Chorus]
Down at The GWishing Well
Forgetfulness is Em7what's for sale
To help wash away the Am7sin of lovers and friends
Or just for Dgive themselves
A place to throw their Gmoney down
In hopes of getting Em7lost or found
You ought to hear the Am7stories
They don't Dtell
Down at The Cmaj7Wishing Well
Yeah I'll Dpour you a drink seven nights a week
And I'll Cadd9listen to what you say or you don't
Cause that's Am7how I forget
The reasons that I'm a Dlone
Down here at The GWishing Well
Forgetfulness is Em7what's for sale
To help wash away the Am7sin of lovers and friends
Or just for Dgive ourselves
A place to throw our Gmoney down
In hopes of getting Em7lost or found
You ought to hear the Am7stories
They don't Dtell
Down at The Cmaj7Wishing Well
You ought to hear the Am7stories
We don't Dtell

[Verse]

Well I run a little tavern on a dead end street

Cadd9

And my ears are pretty bent

By the time I close at three

D Cadd9 G

Every body's got a wish that comes in here

D Cadd9

A little amnesia for the price of a beer

And Dale knows that I know all about his wife

Cadd9

And what it is she's doing and

Who she's with tonight

But I don't say a word about it

Cadd9 G

And neither does he

He just talks about them Dodgers

Cadd9

And buys another drink

[Chorus]

Down at The Wishing Well

Em7

Forgetfulness is what's for sale

Am7

To help wash away the sin of lovers and friends

Or just for give themselves

A place to throw their money down

Em7

In hopes of getting lost or found

You ought to hear the stories

They don't tell

They say Gina was a heartbreaker

Back in her day

Cadd9

But years and hard living

Put the lines on her face

Now she only wants a man

So she sips her margarita and watches the door

[Chorus]
