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