[Verse]
A F#m
Like a railroad train goes with rock 'n roll
A F#m
Like your notes on napkins and your hooker stroll
A F#m
Like a big brick wall right across your heart
D Bm
I won't be there when you cry your blues
D Bm
And I won't be there when you tie your shoes
D Bm E
And I won't be there during rainy intermissions

[Verse]
A F#m
You can make time pass with a deck of cards
A F#m
You can hold your own with alcoholic rock stars
A F#m
You can wear gold rings through your hands and nose
D Bm
But I wont be there in your hospital room
D Bm
And I wont be there with a snow blown spoon
D Bm E
And I wont be there for the funeral of your new family

D F#m E F#m G
And when you find what you're missing

You better look who you been kissing

Cause the music stops and you'll start listening

To the sound of your heart, of your heart

[Verse]
A F#m
I got a graveyard scrapbook full of sad old news
A F#m
I got two thousand years of the Christian blues
A F#m
I see too many gray men waiting to die
D Bm
So I wont be there when the lights go low
D Bm
And I wont be there as your habits grow
D Bm E
And I wont be there like some dead fly caught I your lampshade
