[Verse 1]
D     A           G         A
I was talking, not two days ago
D            A            G         A
To a certain bartender I'm lucky to know
D           A         G          A
And I asked Henry, my bartending friend
D           A             G        A
If I should bother dating unfamous men

And Henry said,

[Bridge 1]
C       G/B           A
"You're lucky to even know me,
C      G/B          A
You're lucky to be alive.
C      G/B         A
You're lucky to be drinking here for free,
             C               G/B           A
'Cause I'm a sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes."

And then he said,

[Chorus 1]
C                 G        F      G
"Do ya wanna be a polyester bride?
C           G             F        G
Do ya wanna hang your head and die?
C                G        F                  G
Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?
C           G                   F    G        C     G/B
Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly away from here?"

[Verse 2]
D         A           G          A
And I was sitting, not two days ago
D       A                 G             A
Feeling lonely, 'cause I'm just feeling low
D           A         G          A
And I asked Henry, my bartending friend
D      A                 G             A
Why it is that there are those kind of men?

And Henry said,

[Bridge 2]
C       G/B           A
"You're lucky to even know me,
C      G/B          A
You're lucky to be alive.
C      G/B         A
You're lucky to be drinking here for free,
             C               G/B           A
'Cause I'm a sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes."

And then he said,

[Chorus 2]
C                 G        F      G
"Do ya wanna be a polyester bride?
C           G             F        G
Do ya wanna hang your head and die?
C                G        F                  G
Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?
C           G                   F    G        C     G F
Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly away from here?
           G      C              G                   F
Princess, do you really want to flap your wings and fly?

       F    C          G
'Cause you, you've got time," he keeps telling me.
F     C          G
"You, you've got time," but I don't believe him.
F     C          G
"you, you've got time."
                  F     C
I keep on pushing harder
G                 F           C
I keep on pushing farther away...
                         F                G
But he keeps telling me, "Baby," he says, "Baby, yeah."

[Chorus 3]
C                 G C G     F      G
"Do ya wanna be a polyester bride?
C           G             F        G
Do ya wanna hang your head and die?
C                G        F                  G
Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?
C           G                   F    G        C
Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly away from here?
