C F G F Dm G
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
Dm 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
Dm G
When you drink with your buddies on the weekend
F G
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
C C/B Am G F
You spend your whole life dropping nickels in the bucket, Wakin' up at dawn
Dm E Am G/F
And while Jackie bestowed the joys of fingerlickin'
G F F/E 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
Dm 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
Dm G
She holds him though he probably won't remember
F G
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
C C/B Am G F
Sometimes dreams are all you got to keep you going when the day gets long
Dm E Am G/F
And you gave up so many just to make a livin'
G F F/E 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
Dm 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
Dm 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/B Am G F
They say patience is a virtue but the doctor says she don't have long
Dm E Am G/F
You stood up and tried your damndest not to listen
G F F/E 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/B Am G F
The house is quiet now and everything inside seems to know she's gone
Dm E Am G/F
There's a picture of you both sixteen years old just kissing
G F F/E 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
… … … … ...
Dm G
Have a chance, that is...
