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