VERSE 1
********
Well, I had the Dmcontract with me
I was Gmopening for a star
I'd Cseen him on the concert stage
I'd Dmwatched him from afar
I Fhadn't heard much lately
Of Canything he'd done
But Dmhe sang songs of rights and wrongs
Of A7those who'd lost or won
--------------------------
VERSE 2
********
So it was Dmin a run down nightclub
In a Gmbroken part of town
I was Con the long way up
He was Dmon the long way down
I Fsaw him in a corner
Playing Cpinball, killing time
I Dmasked him how he was
And with a A7smile he answered "Fine"
With a smile he answered "Fine"
Then he said
--------------------------
CHORUS
*******
"FSonny, it's the same old pinball
I Dmplayed ten years ago
CNow it's just like me, friend
The Faction's getting Cslow F
I've been to the top friend
DmNow I'm way down low
Still Cplaying the same old pinball clubs
I played ten years aFgo" Dm A7 Dm A7
--------------------------
VERSE 3
********
Well, Dmnever meet your heroes
I've Gmread that line somewhere
They're Cjust like you and me
With all our Dmhope and our despair
I Fsaid “It's never that bad
There's Calways one more day
There's Dmalways one more song to sing
And A7one more tune to play"
--------------------------
VERSE 4
********
Well, he just Dmlooked me up and down
And then he Gmslowly shook his head
He said "ToC stay alive, try 9 to 5
ToDm earn your daily bread"
I Fsaid "You were my idol
You Chanded me this dream"
He turned Dmaway and pointed
To the A7battered old machine
That battered old machine
And he said
--------------------------
CHORUS
*******
"FSonny, it's the same old pinball
I Dmplayed ten years ago
CNow it's just like me, friend
The Faction's getting Cslow F
I've been to the top friend
DmNow I'm way down low
Still Cplaying the same old pinball clubs
I played ten years aFgo" Dm A7 Dm A7
--------------------------
VERSE 5
********
He said "I Dmmade a lot of money
And I Gmdrank a lot of wine
I Cpaid for all my pleasures
And I had a Dmreal good time
I Fnever stayed in one place
CLonger than a day
I Dmgave them pearls and told the girls
I A7really couldn't stay"
--------------------------
VERSE 6
********
"But where, Dmwhere'd it go to sonny?
It Gmcame and went so fast
It's Cfar too easy nowadays
To Dmlive back in the past
But FI'm still good for doing
CWhat I've always done
There Dmhasn't been a house yet
I A7haven't fought and won
I haven't fought and won."
Then he said
--------------------------
CHORUS
*******
"FSonny, it's the same old pinball
I Dmplayed ten years ago
CNow it's just like me, friend
The Faction's getting Cslow F
I've been to the top friend
DmNow I'm way down low
Still Cplaying the same old pinball clubs
I played ten years aFgo" Dm A7 Dm A7
--------------------------
VERSE 7
********
"So Dmnow they're out there waiting
And they Gmdon't know who you are
They Cdon't care for your future
They'll Dmjust prop up the bar
And Fyou, you'll sing your heart out
And Cmaybe some will hear
And Dmmaybe you'll come back
And play this A7place again next year"
--------------------------
VERSE 8
********
"So, go on and do your Dmset now, sonny
BeGmfore they get too drunk
And Cplease, don't count them, sonny
These Dmglasses that I've sunk
I'll Fdo my show, remember
I've Cnever lost them yet
But Dmsonny, sometimes lately
A7It's been an even bet
It's been an even bet."
Then he said

VERSE 9
********
He's long Dmgone and forgotten
His Gmname you never knew
But Cwhat reminded me
Was when I Dmturned and looked at you
FStanding there so happy
With your Cnew guitar and dreams
DmOne question for you, sonny
Can you A7play these machines
Can you play these machines
--------------------------
CHORUS
*******
'FCause sonny it's the same old pinball
He Dmplayed ten years ago
And Cnow it's just like me friend
The Faction's getting Cslow F
I've been to the top friend
And Dmnow I'm way down low
Still Cplaying the same old pinball clubs
I played ten years aFgo"
Yes, I'm Cplaying the same old pinball clubs
I played ten years aFgo"
