[Verse 1]
F#m
Dad never started drinking
'til he was thirty-five
D
And once he found the power
he made up for his lost time
Esus2
Go outside and catch a cricket,
then unplug the phone
D
Said their singing kept him company,
C#
when we'd leave him alone
[Verse 2]
F#m
Those were days of feeling awkward,
being seventeen and such
D
Hoping I could find some comfort,
in a deacon's daughter's touch
Esus2
I'd spend time out in the desert
feeling lonely with a friend
D
And we'd talk about leaving,
C#
but it was years before we did
[Chorus]
D A E
Oh the time moves slow
D A E
But you can't go where you want to go
D A E
But, oh the time slips away
F#m D E
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F#m
Well I found myself a genie,
said she'd grant a wish for me
D
And all I had to do for her
E
was love her endlessly
Esus2
So I asked my dad about it and he said,
"Son, life's a game we play."
D
So I closed my eyes, held her and said,
C#
"Take me away"
[Verse 4]
F#m
Let's live in a lighthouse
on the Maritime shore
D
And we'll hang a wreath to loneliness
upon our lighthouse door
Esus2
But we never made the ocean,
she never followed through
D
She said the day she left,
C#
you know, I really thought you knew
[Chorus]
D A E
Oh the time moves slow
D A E
But you can't go where you want to go
D A E
But, oh the time slips away
F#m D E
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Solo]

[Verse 5]
F#m
Well I went back home to see my dad,
and I walked through the door
D
To his photographs of Hank and Johnny,
lying on the floor
Esus2
Hank had a hole shot through his mouth
and Johnny in the head
D
There were crickets in hallway
C#
and Dad awake in bed
[Verse 6]
F#m
He was sitting in the darkness
with just a cigarette light
D
Said he went a little crazy
sometime in the night
Esus2
I never asked him about the pictures
though it was clear to me
D
He shot 'em for the life
C#
and the man he wouldn't be
[Chorus]
D A E
Oh the time moves slow
D A E
And you can't go where you want to go
D A E
But, oh the time slips away
F#m D E
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Chorus]
D A E
Oh the time moves slow
D A E
And you can't go where you want to go
D A E
But, oh the time slips away
F#m D E
Day after day, day after day
Day after day after day after day
