C majorC                FF
"Don't you let the lessons stop, time ain't just hands on a clock"
C majorC               G+G
That's what I'm gonna tell Pop when I leave
C majorC              FF
A augmentedA vision on the lonely road, it's something that i gotta know:
C majorC          G+G       C majorC
If i can drive this car all on my own

C majorC                 FF
I guess i'll leave my girl behind, I should have done that long ago
C majorC                 G+G
Sometime I'm sure the pain will go away
C majorC             FF
It wasn't working anyhow, the burners on the stove burnt out
C majorC        G+G       C majorC
A augmentedA shame I didn't figure it out before

A minorAm      C majorC         FF     C majorC

Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the
FF             G+G   C majorC
Things that we ain't never gonna know

C majorC               FF
I met a man in San Francisco, he told me he did the same thing
C majorC        G+G
Fifty years ago, he left his girl behind
C majorC                   FF
He sits there in the park one hand is strumming his guitar
C majorC            G+G    C majorC
Songs he found inside a bottle of wine
C majorC                 FF
I saw the same things on his face, the ones that made me race away from
C majorC             G+G
everything i'd ever really known
C majorC             FF
the scare to take responsibility from here -and put her there-
C majorC             G+G      C majorC
Where everyone can see the seeds you've sown

A minorAm      C majorC         FF     C majorC

C majorC
You know my line Joe?

C majorC                  FF
If you think about the Creature that you might have thought would teach you
C majorC                         G+G
That our hearts are just the thing right from the start
C majorC                 FF
It would keep us from the worries, safe from sound and safe from fury,
C majorC                G+G    C majorC
Safe at home besides the ones we know we loved
C majorC               FF
If you told me from the start that I could never be apart from her,
C majorC                    G+G
I'd tell you, "go to hell, get out of my way"
C majorC                     FF
But i've come back with my tail between my legs I didn't know the way
C majorC        G+G       C majorC
A augmentedA man can't be a man all on his own

A minorAm      C majorC         FF     C majorC

A minorAm     FF        G+G
Sing along with me before I go

Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the
FF             G+G   C majorC
Things that we ain't never gonna know

A minorAm        C majorC      FF    C majorC
The sun is going down on this lonesome town
A minorAm         FF     G+G
But I got you here to keep my company
