[Intro]
G Asus2 C7 G x2
[Verse 1]
G Asus2
Where's that angel with dirty knees
C7 G
Who wasn't hard to please when we first met
G Asus2
She don't act like she needs me now
C7 G
And she don't even seem to be upset
G Asus2
Maybe I cover too much ground,
C7 G
I've been from town to town since I grew up
G Asus2
Could my dreams take up too much space?
C7 G
I'll never find a place that's big enough
[Chorus]
G9 Em7 G Dsus2
The chairs go up on the bar now
Em7 G Dsus2
And the table lights go black
Em7 G Dsus2
So I order one last double
Cadd9
And start calling people back
[Verse 2]
G Asus2
Marc sounds good, he's been working hard
C7 G
he couldn't punch a card to save his life
G Asus2
Say's he's glad that he quit the road
C7 G
He say's he's getting old and missed his wife
G Asus2
Little Em's been asleep since nine
C7 G
I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is
G Asus2
Dad won't answer his phone at night
C7 G
But I guess that's alright, the place is his
[Chorus]
G9 Em7 G Dsus2
And the chairs are up on the bar now
Em7 G Dsus2
And they're asking me to leave
Em7 G Dsus2
So I give the girl a bill
Cadd9
And start rolling down my sleeves
[Verse 3]
G Asus2
In my pocket, directions back
C7 G
Across the railroad tracks, to where I crash
G Asus2
Maybe I should wave down a car
C7 G
I won't be going far, and I've got cash
G Asus2
Think I blocked just a park away
C7 G
But I can't really say, it's been all night
G Asus2
How I wish you would call me here
C7 G
but you just disappeared, it wasn't right
[Chorus]
G9 Em7 G Dsus2
And the Streetlights help a little
Em7 G Dsus2
But they're barely half alive
Em7 G Dsus2
And I don't feel much like walking
Cadd9
I sure as hell can't drive
[Verse 4]
G Asus2
Close your eyes and remember this
C7 G
It won't be back again, it's almost gone
G Asus2
Even times that don't seem like much
C7 G
Will be your only crutch, when your alone
G Asus2
Time moves slow when you're seventeen
C7 G
And then it picks up steam at twenty-one
G Asus2
Pretty soon you'll remember when
C7 G
You could remember when, you loved someone
