For Alcoholics Anonymous, there's a number you can call
E F#7 B7
We need one for a man that gets hung up on an old pinball
E A E
It's payday night, and there's a man who's a-gonna try his luck
E B7 E
A working man and an old machine and both of them lit up
[Chorus]
E A E
You better call... Pinball Anonymous, he's playing that thing again
E F#7 B7
He's got the 17 and the 20, now he's a-trying to get the 10
E A E
Spent 40 dollars on an extra ball and tilted that thing again
B7 E
You better call... Pinball Anonymous for him
[Verse 2]
E A E
A traveling man leads a lonely life and the chance of fame is small
E F#7 B7
So he gets his kicks from a roll of nickels and a little ol' silver ball

Pinball in the truck stops all over the U.S.A.
E B7 E
When you get hooked on that old machine, you'll hear somebody say
[Chorus]

You better call... Pinball Anonymous, he's playing that thing again

Well, a pinball machine's a big ol' thing that backs up against the wall

Now, it just lights up and stands there, taking on one and all

If you get hooked on the pinball, you'll sure regret the day
E B7 E
'cause you'll go broke a nickel at a time and you'll hear somebody say
[Chorus]
