[Verse 1]
D#m
Dad never started drinking
'til he was thirty-five
B
And once he found the power
he made up for his lost time
C#sus2
Go outside and catch a cricket,
then unplug the phone
B
Said their singing kept him company,
A#
when we'd leave him alone
[Verse 2]
D#m
Those were days of feeling awkward,
being seventeen and such
B
Hoping I could find some comfort,
in a deacon's daughter's touch
C#sus2
I'd spend time out in the desert
feeling lonely with a friend
B
And we'd talk about leaving,
A#
but it was years before we did
[Chorus]
B F# C#
Oh the time moves slow
B F# C#
But you can't go where you want to go
B F# C#
But, oh the time slips away
D#m B C#
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D#m
Well I found myself a genie,
said she'd grant a wish for me
B
And all I had to do for her
C#
was love her endlessly
C#sus2
So I asked my dad about it and he said,
"Son, life's a game we play."
B
So I closed my eyes, held her and said,
A#
"Take me away"
[Verse 4]
D#m
Let's live in a lighthouse
on the Maritime shore
B
And we'll hang a wreath to loneliness
upon our lighthouse door
C#sus2
But we never made the ocean,
she never followed through
B
She said the day she left,
A#
you know, I really thought you knew
[Chorus]
B F# C#
Oh the time moves slow
B F# C#
But you can't go where you want to go
B F# C#
But, oh the time slips away
D#m B C#
Day after day, day after day
Day after day

[Verse 5]
D#m
Well I went back home to see my dad,
and I walked through the door
B
To his photographs of Hank and Johnny,
lying on the floor
C#sus2
Hank had a hole shot through his mouth
and Johnny in the head
B
There were crickets in hallway
A#
and Dad awake in bed
[Verse 6]
D#m
He was sitting in the darkness
with just a cigarette light
B
Said he went a little crazy
sometime in the night
C#sus2
I never asked him about the pictures
though it was clear to me
B
He shot 'em for the life
A#
and the man he wouldn't be
[Chorus]
B F# C#
Oh the time moves slow
B F# C#
And you can't go where you want to go
B F# C#
But, oh the time slips away
D#m B C#
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Chorus]
B F# C#
Oh the time moves slow
B F# C#
And you can't go where you want to go
B F# C#
But, oh the time slips away
D#m B C#
Day after day, day after day
Day after day after day after day
