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