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