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