[Verse 1]
Em
Dad never started drinking
'til he was thirty-five
C
And once he found the power
he made up for his lost time
Dsus2
Go outside and catch a cricket,
then unplug the phone
C
Said their singing kept him company,
B
when we'd leave him alone
[Verse 2]
Em
Those were days of feeling awkward,
being seventeen and such
C
Hoping I could find some comfort,
in a deacon's daughter's touch
Dsus2
I'd spend time out in the desert
feeling lonely with a friend
C
And we'd talk about leaving,
B
but it was years before we did
[Chorus]
C G D
Oh the time moves slow
C G D
But you can't go where you want to go
C G D
But, oh the time slips away
Em C D
Day after day, day after day
Day after day

[Verse 3]
Em
Well I found myself a genie,
said she'd grant a wish for me
C
And all I had to do for her
D
was love her endlessly
Dsus2
So I asked my dad about it and he said,
"Son, life's a game we play."
C
So I closed my eyes, held her and said,
B
"Take me away"
[Verse 4]
Em
Let's live in a lighthouse
on the Maritime shore
C
And we'll hang a wreath to loneliness
upon our lighthouse door
Dsus2
But we never made the ocean,
she never followed through
C
She said the day she left,
B
you know, I really thought you knew
[Chorus]
C G D
Oh the time moves slow
C G D
But you can't go where you want to go
C G D
But, oh the time slips away
Em C D
Day after day, day after day
Day after day

[Verse 5]
Em
Well I went back home to see my dad,
and I walked through the door
C
To his photographs of Hank and Johnny,
lying on the floor
Dsus2
Hank had a hole shot through his mouth
and Johnny in the head
C
There were crickets in hallway
B
and Dad awake in bed
[Verse 6]
Em
He was sitting in the darkness
with just a cigarette light
C
Said he went a little crazy
sometime in the night
Dsus2
I never asked him about the pictures
though it was clear to me
C
He shot 'em for the life
B
and the man he wouldn't be
[Chorus]
C G D
Oh the time moves slow
C G D
And you can't go where you want to go
C G D
But, oh the time slips away
Em C D
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Chorus]
C G D
Oh the time moves slow
C G D
And you can't go where you want to go
C G D
But, oh the time slips away
Em C D
Day after day, day after day
Day after day after day after day
