[Verse]

***Same picking pattern as intro***


G            Asus2
Where's that angel with dirty knees
      C              G
who wasn't hard to please when we first met?
G           Asus2
She don't act like she needs me now
       C        G
and she don't even seem to be upset.
G        Asus2
Maybe I cover too much ground,
        C             G
I've been from town to town since I grew up.
G            Asus2
Could my dreams take up too much space?
      C            G
I'll never find a place that's big enough.


[Chorus]

D  Em7    G9    D
 The chairs go up on the bar now,
    Em7  G9    D
and the table lights go black,
   Em7  G9    D
So I order one last double
             Cadd9
and start calling people back.


[Verse]

G              Asus2
Marc sounds good, he's been working hard.
      C           G
Couldn't punch a card to save his life.
G           Asus2
Says he's glad that he quit the road,
       C             G
he says he's getting old, he missed his wife.
G        Asus2
Little Em's been asleep since nine,
        C           G
I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is.
G          Asus2
Dad won't answer his phone at night,
   C                 G
but I guess that's alright, the place is his.


[Chorus]

D  Em7    G9    D
 The chairs are up on the bar now
  Em7   G9    D
and they're asking me to leave,
   Em7   G9   D
So I give the girl a bill
             Cadd9
and start rolling down my sleeves.


[Verse]

G        Asus2
In my pocket directions back
      C             G
across the railroad tracks to where I crash.
G          Asus2
Maybe I should wave down a car,
      C           G
I won't be going far, and I have cash.
G           Asus2
Think I blocked just a park away,
      C             G
but I can't really say, it's been all night.
G          Asus2
How I wish you would call me here,
       C           Asus2
but you just disappeared, it wasn't right.


[Chorus]

D    Em7     G9   D
 And the streetlights help a little,
      Em7  G9  D
but they're barely half alive
 Em7    G9    D
I don't feel much like walking
             Cadd9
and I sure as hell can't drive.


[Verse]

G          Asus2
Close your eyes and remember this.
      C            G
It won't be back again, it's almost gone.
G           Asus2
Even times that don't seem like much
       C            G
will be your only crutch when you're alone.
G          Asus2
Time moves slow when you're seventeen
      C         G
and then it picks up steam at twenty-one.
G         Asus2
Pretty soon you'll remember when
     C            G
you could remember when you loved someone.
