I've got fi[C]ve--- mi[C/B]nutes...[Am] to sneak a cigarette,[Am/G]
[F] Five minutes to my - s[G]elf,
[C] Back behind the s[C/B]creen door of [Am]Andy's Luncheonette,[Am/G]
And I a[F]in't got time to wo[G]rry 'bout my he[C]alth![(Csus4)] [(C)]
[C] My boss, [C/B]Andy, says I s[Am]moke myself to death, [Am/G]
[F] Andy, he reminds me some of y[G]ou,
[C] Back when you were R[C/B]omeo, and [Am]I was Juliet,[Am/G]
West Te[F]xas Capu - l[G]et and Monta - g[C]ue![(Csus4)(C)]
[C/B] [Am] Now I don't think too [Am/G]much a - b[F]out you anymore,
[C] We weren't much [C/E]more than k[G]ids,
It was n[Am]early twenty years a -[Am/G] go I s[F]hut and locked that door,
[C] [C/B] [Am] [Am/G]
Now I've got five------ minutes,
[F] Not much t[G]ime to remi - n[C]ice[C/B]![Am] [Am/G] [Fmaj7]
| / / / / | / / / / | (Riff twice)
M[C]ost nights I come [C/B]home from work, and I p[Am]our a glass of wine,[Am/G]
Some - ti[F]mes it's three, or four, before I s[G]top,
[C] And Jessie makes a sa[C/B]ndwich... if I s[Am]leep through supper - [Am/G]time,
And she le[F]aves me on the co[G]uch to sleep it o[C]ff![(Csus4)] [(C)]
[C] Now, Jessie just turned sev[C/B]enteen, and she's w[Am]ild as she can[Am/G] be,
[F] And there ain't nothing I can [G]do,
Last wee[C]kend she ran [C/B]off to meet a [Am]boy in Tennes - [Am/G]see,
[F] Just like I u[G]sed to run to y[C]ou![(Csus4)(C)]
[C/B] [Am] I gave her hell, when [Am/G]she came ho[F]me this afternoon,
[C] Mascara running [C/E]down her f[G]ace,
Seems like hi[Am]story repeats it - [Am/G]self, and [F]it ain't up to you,
And in f[C]ive-[C/B]--- mi[Am]nutes[Am/G]...
[F] ...your whole l[G]ife can ch[C]ang[C/B]e![Am] [Am/G] [Fmaj7]
| / / / / | / / / / | (Riff twice)
[C] Now, Andy, he's [C/B]good to me, and I can [Am]see it in his eyes,[Am/G]
[F] He'd love to take your pl[G]ace,
[C] But something deep in - [C/B]side me just.[Am].. withers up and [Am/G]dies,
To make l[F]ove to him, and o[G]nly see your f[C]ace![(Csus4)(C)]
[C/B] [Am] Somehow I've let my - [Am/G]self go ge[F]ntly down the stream,
[C] A fine ex - a[C/E]mple I have s[G]et,
Between the wo[Am]rking and the l[Am/G]iving, and the gh[F]osts that haunt my dreams,
[C] [C/B] [Am] [Am/G]
I've got five------ minutes,
[F] And I'm gonna sm[G]oke this cigar - [C]tte[C/B]![Am] [Am/G] [Fmaj7]

(End on)
