[Verse 1] G Lunchtime Friday, leave work early, Am Rushing through the suburbs to the station to catch the train, C Cadd9 Heading up to town to Dave’s to get my glad rags on. G Because lately I’ve been running down, little things catching up, Am Excuses stretched thin and it’s hard not giving up. C Cadd9 Tonight we’re going to get it right, we’re going to have us a good one. [Chorus] Am G And the roll call is missing a name; Am Fmaj Since you left things haven’t been the same, C G Fmaj But I don’t blame you, there was nothing here to make you stay. Am G But I remember the way that you’d light up a room when you walk in, Am Fmaj The way that you’d lead a crowd when you sing. C G Fmaj Jamie, this one is for you. [Verse 2] G Pre-club beers at Dan’s before we hit the road. Am Nicely warmed up, pleasantly half-loaded, C Cadd9 Ready for a night on fire, we’re going to get out the big guns. G And I run down the numbers, scan through the faces, Am Run through the plans, scout out the places. C Cadd9 I’m electrified, surrounded, but still missing something or someone. [Chorus] Am G And the roll call is missing a name; Am Fmaj Since you left things haven’t been the same, C G Fmaj But I don’t blame you, there was nothing here to make you stay. Am G But I remember the way that you’d light up a room when you walk in, Am Fmaj The way that you’d lead a crowd when you sing. C G Fmaj Jamie, this one is for you. [Bridge] C Csus4 I’m wide awake in this cityscape. C You did your time out on the road. C One day you stayed away for good. C You found a home down by the shore, C A place to hang your hat and more. C You sent me postcards to tell me of C Slowing down and finding love. C The thrill has gone from the city life; C I’m not far behind. [Chorus] Am G So you can strike my name from the roll call, Am Fmaj When night falls I’m leaving. G Fmaj There is nothing here to make me stay. Am G When I get to the coast I will send back a postcard Am Fmaj To tell all my old friends all about my new start. C G Fmaj Jamie I will see you soon.
