[Verse]

***Same picking pattern as intro***


G+G            Asus2Asus2
Where's that angel with dirty knees
      C majorC              G+G
who wasn't hard to please when we first met?
G+G           Asus2Asus2
She don't act like she needs me now
       C majorC        G+G
and she don't even seem to be upset.
G+G        Asus2Asus2
Maybe I cover too much ground,
        C majorC             G+G
I've been from town to town since I grew up.
G+G            Asus2Asus2
Could my dreams take up too much space?
      C majorC            G+G
I'll never find a place that's big enough.

[Chorus]

D MajorD  E minor 7Em7    G9G9    D MajorD
 The chairs go up on the bar now,
    E minor 7Em7  G9G9    D MajorD
and the table lights go black,
   E minor 7Em7  G9G9    D MajorD
So I order one last double
             Cadd9Cadd9
and start calling people back.


[Verse]

G+G              Asus2Asus2
Marc sounds good, he's been working hard.
      C majorC           G+G
Couldn't punch a card to save his life.
G+G           Asus2Asus2
Says he's glad that he quit the road,
       C majorC             G+G
he says he's getting old, he missed his wife.
G+G        Asus2Asus2
Little Em's been asleep since nine,
        C majorC           G+G
I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is.
G+G          Asus2Asus2
Dad won't answer his phone at night,
   C majorC                 G+G
but I guess that's alright, the place is his.


[Chorus]

D MajorD  E minor 7Em7    G9G9    D MajorD
 The chairs are up on the bar now
  E minor 7Em7   G9G9    D MajorD
and they're asking me to leave,
   E minor 7Em7   G9G9   D MajorD
So I give the girl a bill
             Cadd9Cadd9
and start rolling down my sleeves.


[Verse]

G+G        Asus2Asus2
In my pocket directions back
      C majorC             G+G
across the railroad tracks to where I crash.
G+G          Asus2Asus2
Maybe I should wave down a car,
      C majorC           G+G
I won't be going far, and I have cash.
G+G           Asus2Asus2
Think I blocked just a park away,
      C majorC             G+G
but I can't really say, it's been all night.
G+G          Asus2Asus2
How I wish you would call me here,
       C majorC           Asus2Asus2
but you just disappeared, it wasn't right.


[Chorus]

D MajorD    E minor 7Em7     G9G9   D MajorD
 And the streetlights help a little,
      E minor 7Em7  G9G9  D MajorD
but they're barely half alive
 E minor 7Em7    G9G9    D MajorD
I don't feel much like walking
             Cadd9Cadd9
and I sure as hell can't drive.


[Verse]

G+G          Asus2Asus2
Close your eyes and remember this.
      C majorC            G+G
It won't be back again, it's almost gone.
G+G           Asus2Asus2
Even times that don't seem like much
       C majorC            G+G
will be your only crutch when you're alone.
G+G          Asus2Asus2
Time moves slow when you're seventeen
      C majorC         G+G
and then it picks up steam at twenty-one.
G+G         Asus2Asus2
Pretty soon you'll remember when
     C majorC            G+G
you could remember when you loved someone.
