Pocketful of Keys
Dm7Dm7
He has one that locks the office
And there's one that starts the big fine car
Cmaj7Cmaj7 C6C6 Cmaj7Cmaj7 C6C6
That finds its way home
Gm7Gm7 F6F6
He has two that fit the front-door locks and one that fits the mailbox
Fmaj7Fmaj7 Gm7Gm7
But inside there's just a spider
Am7Am7 Bb majorBb A7A7
And he scuttles to the corner with his mysteries
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7 Am7Am7 Gm7Gm7 G+G
Cause he's frightened by the jangle of his pocketful of keys
He has one that fits the cashbox
And one unlocks the liquor bar
And it finds its way down
He has one that fits the study door and one unlocks the desk drawer
And he touches all his letters and
He sorts them all according to his memories
To the icy clank and tinkle of his pocketful of keys
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7 Dm7Dm7
There's a padlock on the garden gate
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7 Dm7Dm7
There's a padlock on the hunting lodge
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7 Dm7Dm7 Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
There's a padlock on the his-and-her garage
Bb majorBb FF G minorGm Ebmaj7Ebmaj7 Bb majorBb AbAb C7C7
Amen, he was a somber man not inclined to telling her his mind
And there's one that locks the pain up
And one that keeps the hot tears in
But they find their way out
He has one that locks the best gin up and one that keeps his chin up
And in shaky situations he
Has learned a way by which he even locks his knees
And he holds himself together with his pocketful of keys
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7 Am7Am7 Dm7Dm7 G+G
Yes, he holds himself together with his keys
