[Verse]
DIt’s like I’m sitting at a bus stop
waiting for a A/C#train
Exactly how I Ggot here
is Ahard to explain
DMy heart’s in the right place
what’s A/C#left of it I guess
My Gheart ain’t the problem
it’s my Amind that’s a total mess
With these Drickety old legs
and these A/C#watery eyes
It’s Ghard to believe
that AI could pass for anybody’s prize
And Dhere’s what I know about
the A/C#gifts that God gave
You Gcan’t take em with you
when you Ago to the grave
[Chorus]
It ain't Dover yet ask sBmomeone who ought to know
not so veryEm long ago we were Aboth hung out to dry
It ain't Dover yet you can Bmmark my words
Don't cEmare what you think you heard we’re still Alearning how to fly
It’ aint Dover yet
[Verse]
For fDools like me
who were A/C#built for the chase
It takes the Gright kind of woman
to Ahelp you put it all in place
It Donly happened once in my life
but A/C#man you should have seen
Her Ghair two shades of foxtail red
her Aeyes some far out sea blue green
I got Dcaught up making a name for myself
you know what A/C#that’s about
One Gday your ship comes rolling in
the Anext day it just rolls back out
And you can’t Dtake for granted
none of this A/C#shit
The Ghigher up you fly boys
the Aharder it is you’re gonna get hit
[Chorus]
It ain't Dover yet I’ll say Bmthis about that
you can Emget up off the mat or you can Alay there til you die
It ain't Dover yet here’s the Bmtruth my friend
you can’t Empack it in and we bAoth know why
It ain't Dover yet
[Bridge]
BmSilly boys blind toG get there first think of
Dsecond chances as Asome kind of curse
BmI’ve known you forG-ever and ever
If you Dcame by it easy you Awouldn’t be you
You make me Bmlaugh you make me G5maj7cry you make me forDget myself
[Verse]
Back when Ddown on my luck
A/C#kept me up for days
You were tGhere with the right words
to Ahelp me crawl out of the maze
When I’d aDlmost convinced myself
I was A/C#hipper than thou
You Gstepped up with a warning shot
Afired sweet and low across the bow
And you Ddon’t walk on water
and your sA/C#arcasm stings
But the Gway you move through this old world
sure Amakes a case for angel wings
And I was Dhalf way to the bottom
when you A/C#threw me that line
And I’ll Gquote you now verbatim
Get your Ahead out of your own behind
[Chorus]
It ain't Dover yet what you Bmwanna bet
one more Emcigarette ain't gonna Asend you to the grave
It ain't Dover yet I seen your Bmnew girlfriend
thinks you’re the Emliving end big old sAparkle in her eye
It ain't Dover yet
