Chords with lyrics

Capo 3

C/BC/B - x20010

All verses repeat same chord progression (C, Em, Am, F, G+G)

C majorC
Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail
   E minorEm
Seems like every Friday evenin' she'd find herself in jail
   A minorAm
Not a friend this side of Houston with the time to throw her bail
       FF        G+G
But she'll be fine, she'll be fine

Spent a lifetime walkin' through the halls of a broken home
Not a man round here still standin for the girl to call her own
Every time she tried to hold him she'd just ended up alone
But there's still time, there's still time

Davey drove a taxi through the streets of Boston town
Like the billboards up above him the world just wore him down
Only soul he'd ever cared for was the one he'd never found
But he'll be fine, he'll be fine

Broken half of winter with a wind chill ten below
Davey sittin in is kitchen laughin' 'bout how the world had done him so
Then the postman burst his bubble with a letter from below
And now it's time, now it's time

Chorus:

FF       G+G   C majorC   C/BC/B   A minorAm
And there's a lot of people runnin' 'round
FF     C majorC         G+G
Not quite sure which way to go
FF     G+G  C majorC    C/BC/B   A minorAm
But as for me I think I finally found
FF       G+G       C majorC   G+G
It's just easy come and easy go

Jamie grabbed a bottle threw her apron on the bar
Packed her whole world in a suitcase and tossed it in the car
Woke up in Texarkana wonderin' how she got this far
And on her own, on her own

Stranger at the motel let Jamie stay for free
She was gone before the daybreak on her way to Tennessee
Lookin' to make the whole world over into a place she wants to be
But not alone, not alone

Davey left his taxi in the bottom of a Beantown lake
He said this whole world's full of chance and this is one I gotta take
So he caught the line to Nashville to finally find his break
And make a home, make a home

As the train flew out of Boston, his whole world passed him by
He said I spent a lifetime runnin' and now's the time to try
If I can't find someone to hold me then my dreams will surely die
And I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
   A minorAm
When Davey hit the pavement
  FF
the sky was almost grey
     C majorC
He lit a smoke off of the sidewalk
  G+G
To drive the storm away
     A minorAm
And when Jamie turned the corner
     FF
With the world upon her brow
   C majorC
Davey said I must be dreamin'
  G+G
How could this happen now
  A minorAm
And then she walked right towards him
      FF
Looked him right up in the eye
C majorC
Davey reached out for forever
  G+G
And Jamie walked on by

Last Chorus:

FF       G+G   C majorC   C/BC/B   A minorAm
And there's a lot of people runnin' 'round
FF     C majorC         G+G
Not quite sure which way to go
FF     G+G  C majorC    C/BC/B   A minorAm
But as for me I think I finally found
FF       G+G       C majorC   C/BC/B A minorAm
It's just easy come and easy go
FF       G+G       C majorC
