Intro G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G G MajorG x3 Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G G MajorG
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
So I sit on this table for one
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And pour me a drink that'll last
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I'm not drunk I just miss being young
Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And I grew old too fast
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
My wife she breaks and she bends
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
My children they don't understand
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I came here tonight in search of a friend
Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But I'm the invisible man
C majorC
'cause I've swallowed my tongue
and I've polished my gun
G+G
and I've sat on my secrets for years
C majorC
with my stiff upper lip
my composure won't slip
D MajorD
and I've hidden each silent salty tear
Intro riff
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I sit on this table for one
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And I have been here before
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
It's a little less than I'd had in mind
Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But I wouldn't ask for more
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And my mother she taught me to write
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And my father he taught me his trade
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And I wish that they could both be here tonight
Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
To see what a mess I've made
C majorC
'cause I've swallowed my tongue
and I've polished my gun
G+G
and I've sat on my secrets for years
C majorC
with my stiff upper lip
my composure won't slip
D MajorD
and I've hidden each silent salty tear
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
my sons and my daughters don't know me at all
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I've dug in trenches and put up walls
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I whisper I love you each night as they sleep
Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But no one hears me when I speak
Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
On this table for one
Strum this once
G+G * Cadd9Cadd9 * G+G *
So I sit on this table for one
G+G * Cadd9Cadd9 * G+G *
I won't go till they tell me to leave
G+G * Cadd9Cadd9 * G+G *
Why'd they teach me to follow my dreams
Dsus4Dsus4 * Cadd9Cadd9 * G+G *
When dreams are all they can be?
