Roger was working round the clock to make a living,

No computers, none of that, he used his two hands,
F           Am       G
Ignored the cold war
    C          F        Am    G
His wife would keep him warm,
       C         F
On the weekends,
              Am              G                  C          F
He'd load the car up with the kids and they'd go fishing,

No need to work an extra job, there's no recession,
              Am       G
Damn right he smiled a lot
          C       F
They lay awake at night
      Am
So in love

"Highway to Hell" beat up "Stayin' Alive",

Robin always woke up early in the kitchen,
               Am               G                    C         F
She'd make the coffee, pack his lunch and then she'd kiss him
             Am       F
And he would hold her tight
     C            F   Am  G
When they were newlyweds
         C        F
He'd say maybe
              Am                      G            C     F
And she would laugh, they knew they'd have another baby
      Am              G                   C         F
She'd slave away all day until dinner was ready,
               Am       G        C       F        Am
And they would dance so slow to "Just the Way You Are".

All the decades and the years have passed,
F                   C              C/B
Not every family is built to last,
Am                          C
No time can take away these memories
                  F
Remember when you said to me

That we'd be all right.
