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