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