G Am
Where’s that angel with dirty knees
C G
Who wasn’t hard to please when we first met
G Am
She don’t act like she needs me now
C G
And she don’t even seem to be upset
Maybe I cover too much ground,
I move from town to town since I grew up
Could my dreams take up to much space?
I’ll never find a place that’s big enough
Same chords for the verse throughout the song
Chorus:
Em D
The chairs are up on the bar now
Em D
And the table lights go black
Em D
So I order one last double
C
And start calling people back
Marc sounds good, he’s been working hard
Couldn’t punch a card to save his life
Say’s he’s glad that he quit the road
He say’s he’s gettin’ old and missed his wife
Little Em’s been asleep since 9
I’m sure she’s doin’ fine, she always is
Dad won’t answer his phone at night
But I guess that’s alright, the place is his
Chorus:
The chairs are up on the bar now
And they’re askin’ me to leave
So I give the girl a bill
And start rollin’ down my sleeves
In my pocket, directions back
Across the railroad tracks, to where I crash
Maybe I should wave down a car
I won’t be goin’ far, and I have cash
Think I blocked just a park away
But I can’t really say, it’s been all night
How I wish you could call me here
You just disappeared, it wasn’t right
Chorus:
And the Streetlights help a little
But they’re barely have alive
I don’t feel much like walkin’
I sure as hell can’t drive
Close your eyes and remember this
It won’t be back again, it’s almost gone
Even times that don’t seem like much
Will be your only crutch, when your alone
Time moves slow when you’re seventeen
And then it picks up steam at twenty-one
Pretty soon you’ll remember when
You could remember when, you loved someone
Play the Chords to the Chorus
