[Intro]
G Asus2 C7 G x2
[Verse 1]
GWhere's that angel with Asus2dirty knees
Who wasn't C7hard to please when we first Gmet
GShe don't act like she Asus2needs me now
And she don't C7even seem to be upGset
GMaybe I cover Asus2too much ground,
I've been from C7town to town since I grew Gup
GCould my dreams take up Asus2too much space?
I'll never C7find a place that's big enGough
[Chorus]
G9The chEm7airs go Gup on the bDsus2ar now
And the Em7table liGghts go Dsus2black
So I Em7order oGne last Dsus2double
And start calling people Cadd9back
[Verse 2]
GMarc sounds good, he's been Asus2working hard
he couldn'tC7 punch a card to save his lifGe
GSay's he's glad that he Asus2quit the road
He say's he's gC7etting old and missed his wGife
GLittle Em's been aAsus2sleep since nine
I'm sure she's C7doing fine, she always Gis
GDad won't answer his Asus2phone at night
But I guess tC7hat's alright, the place is hGis
[Chorus]
G9And the cEm7hairs are Gup on the Dsus2bar now
And they'rEm7e askingG me to Dsus2leave
So I gEm7ive the gGirl a Dsus2bill
And start rolling down my sCadd9leeves
[Verse 3]
GIn my pocket, direcAsus2tions back
Across the rC7ailroad tracks, to where I crGash
GMaybe I should wave Asus2down a car
I won't be gC7oing far, and I've got cGash
GThink I blocked just a Asus2park away
But I can't C7really say, it's been all nigGht
GHow I wish you would cAsus2all me here
but you just C7disappeared, it wasn't riGght
[Chorus]
G9And the SEm7treetlights Ghelp a Dsus2little
But they're Em7barely Ghalf Dsus2alive
And I dEm7on't feel mGuch like Dsus2walking
I sure as hell can't Cadd9drive
[Verse 4]
GClose your eyes and reAsus2member this
It won't be C7back again, it's almost goGne
GEven times that don'tAsus2 seem like much
Will be your C7only crutch, when your alGone
GTime moves slow when you're Asus2seventeen
And then it pC7icks up steam at twenty-oGne
GPretty soon you'll reAsus2member when
You could reC7member when, you loved someGone
