G C D C Am D
G
The teacher had you write a letter, you were eight years old
C
About the man that you'd become and the positions you'd hold
D C
But this was long before you and Jackie Geronimo met
Am D
In the Prelude Park at midnight
G
Now when it came to bells and whistles, Jackie did not lack
C
And when she kissed you on the kisser, boy, you kissed her back
D C
Now you tell her that you love her and she cuts you slack
Am D
When you drink with your buddies on the weekend
C D
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
G G/F# Em D C
You spend your whole life dropping nickels in the bucket, Wakin' up at dawn
Am B Em D/C
And while Jackie bestowed the joys of fingerlickin'
D C C/B C/A G
The clock up on the wall was tickin'
G
You got yourself a job cleaning hospital floors
C
But Jackie had a baby, then she had five more
D C
They'd pay you just enough to drag your ass to the store
Am D
To buy bread, milk and Better Homes & Gardens
G
Jackie flips the pages and she dreams little dreams
C
A cottage in the country built with real wood beams
D C
There's a baby in the bedroom, he's starting to scream
Am D
She holds him though he probably won't remember
C D
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
G G/F# Em D C
Sometimes dreams are all you got to keep you going when the day gets long
Am B Em D/C
And you gave up so many just to make a livin'
D C C/B C/A G
That clock up on the wall was tickin'
G
Now the kids are all grateful when they left the nest
C
And Jackie wasn't perfect but she did her best
D C
You cease the opportunity to get you some rest
Am D
But you can't sleep on account of screaming grandkids
G
The golden years are meant to leave a gleam in your eye
C
You're starting to discover it's a great big lie
D C
They work you like a dog til you quit or you die
Am D
But you can't quit cause Jackie needs the benefits
C D
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
G G/F# Em D C
They say patience is a virtue but the doctor says she don't have long
Am B Em D/C
You stood up and tried your damndest not to listen
D C C/B C/A G
But that clock up on the wall was tickin'.
G C
When they told you to clear the room, that's when it hit you
G D
You watched as the caravan took your sweetheart away
G C
The arguments and fights and money troubles seem so worthless
G D G
As the kids throw yellow roses on her grave
C D
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
G G/F# Em D C
The house is quiet now and everything inside seems to know she's gone
Am B Em D/C
There's a picture of you both sixteen years old just kissing
D C C/B C/A G
And that clock up on the wall was tickin'
G
You always thought she had a chance and it was somewhere hidden
C
Now you've come to the conclusion that she never did
D C
⦠⦠⦠⦠...
Am D
Have a chance, that is...
