[G]Whereâ??s that angel wit[Am]h dirty knees
Who wasnâ??[C]t hard to please when we firs[G]t met
[G]She donâ??t act like sh[Am]e needs me now
And she donâ??[C]t even seem to be [G]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?
Iâ??ll never find a place thatâ??s big enough
Same chords for the verse throughout the song
Chorus:
The [Em]chairs are up on the [D]bar now
And the [Em]table lights go [D]black
So I [Em]order one last d[D]ouble
And start calling people [C]back
Marc sounds good, heâ??s been working hard
Couldnâ??t punch a card to save his life
Sayâ??s heâ??s glad that he quit the road
He sayâ??s heâ??s gettinâ?? old and missed his wife
Little Emâ??s been asleep since 9
Iâ??m sure sheâ??s doinâ?? fine, she always is
Dad wonâ??t answer his phone at night
But I guess thatâ??s alright, the place is his
Chorus:
The chairs are up on the bar now
And theyâ??re askinâ?? me to leave
So I give the girl a bill
And start rollinâ?? down my sleeves
In my pocket, directions back
Across the railroad tracks, to where I crash
Maybe I should wave down a car
I wonâ??t be goinâ?? far, and I have cash
Think I blocked just a park away
But I canâ??t really say, itâ??s been all night
How I wish you could call me here
You just disappeared, it wasnâ??t right
Chorus:
And the Streetlights help a little
But theyâ??re barely have alive
I donâ??t feel much like walkinâ??
I sure as hell canâ??t drive
Close your eyes and remember this
It wonâ??t be back again, itâ??s almost gone
Even times that donâ??t seem like much
Will be your only crutch, when your alone
Time moves slow when youâ??re seventeen
And then it picks up steam at twenty-one
Pretty soon youâ??ll remember when
You could remember when, you loved someone
