^CFred sits a^Am7lone at his ^Emdesk in the ^Gdark There's an ^Cawkward young ^Am7shadow that ^Emwaits in the ^Ghall He has ^Amcleared all his ^Fthings and he's ^Amput them in ^Fboxes ^CThings that remind him: '^GLife has been good' ^Fadd9Twenty-five years he's ^D7susworked at the paper C | G Gsus4 | G* Gsus4 G | A man's here to take him downstairs C /D /E F G ^Cadd9 And I'm sorry, Mister Jones it's time

^CThere was no ^Am7party, ^Emthere were no ^Gsongs 'Cause to^Cday's just a ^Am7day like the ^Emday that he ^Gstarted ^AmNo one is^F left here that ^Amknows his first ^Fname And ^Clife barrels on like a ^Grunaway train Where the ^Fadd9passengers change they don't ^D7suschange anything C | G Gsus4 | G* Gsus4 G | You get off; someone else can get on C /D /E F G ^Cadd9 And I'm sorry, Mister Jones it's time

The ^Amstreetlight it shines through the ^Emshades Casting ^Flines on the floor and ^Clines on his ^Gface He re^Fflects on the ^Cday

^CFred gets his ^Am7paints out and ^Emgoes to the ^Gbasement Pro^Cjecting some ^Am7slides ^Emonto a ^Gplain white ^AmCanvas and ^Ftraces it, ^Amfills in the ^Fspaces He ^Cturns off the slides, and it ^Gdoesn't look right Yeah, and ^Fadd9all of these bastards have ^D7sustaken his place C | G Gsus4 | G* Gsus4 G7 | He's forgotten but not yet gone
