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
A#m 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
A#m D#
When you drink with your buddies on the weekend
C# D#
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
G# G#/G Fm D# C#
You spend your whole life dropping nickels in the bucket, Wakin' up at dawn
A#m C Fm D#/C#
And while Jackie bestowed the joys of fingerlickin'
D# C# C#/C 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
A#m 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
A#m D#
She holds him though he probably won't remember
C# D#
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
G# G#/G Fm D# C#
Sometimes dreams are all you got to keep you going when the day gets long
A#m C Fm D#/C#
And you gave up so many just to make a livin'
D# C# C#/C 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
A#m 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
A#m 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#/G Fm D# C#
They say patience is a virtue but the doctor says she don't have long
A#m C Fm D#/C#
You stood up and tried your damndest not to listen
D# C# C#/C 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#/G Fm D# C#
The house is quiet now and everything inside seems to know she's gone
A#m C Fm D#/C#
There's a picture of you both sixteen years old just kissing
D# C# C#/C 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#
… … … … ...
A#m D#
Have a chance, that is...
