D G A G Em 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
Em 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
Em A
When you drink with your buddies on the weekend
G A
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
D D/C# Bm A G
You spend your whole life dropping nickels in the bucket, Wakin' up at dawn
Em F# Bm A/G
And while Jackie bestowed the joys of fingerlickin'
A G G/F# G/E 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
Em A
To buy bread, milk and Better Homes & Gardens
D
Jackie flips the pages and she dreams little dreams
G
E cottage in the country built with real wood beams
A G
There's a baby in the bedroom, he's starting to scream
Em A
She holds him though he probably won't remember
G A
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
D D/C# Bm A G
Sometimes dreams are all you got to keep you going when the day gets long
Em F# Bm A/G
And you gave up so many just to make a livin'
A G G/F# G/E 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
Em 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
Em 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/C# Bm A G
They say patience is a virtue but the doctor says she don't have long
Em F# Bm A/G
You stood up and tried your damndest not to listen
A G G/F# G/E 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/C# Bm A G
The house is quiet now and everything inside seems to know she's gone
Em F# Bm A/G
There's a picture of you both sixteen years old just kissing
A G G/F# G/E 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
… … … … ...
Em A
Have a chance, that is...
