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