[Verse 1]
Dm
Dad never started drinking
'til he was thirty-five
A#
And once he found the power
he made up for his lost time
Csus2
Go outside and catch a cricket,
then unplug the phone
A#
Said their singing kept him company,
A
when we'd leave him alone
[Verse 2]
Dm
Those were days of feeling awkward,
being seventeen and such
A#
Hoping I could find some comfort,
in a deacon's daughter's touch
Csus2
I'd spend time out in the desert
feeling lonely with a friend
A#
And we'd talk about leaving,
A
but it was years before we did
[Chorus]
A# F C
Oh the time moves slow
A# F C
But you can't go where you want to go
A# F C
But, oh the time slips away
Dm A# C
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Dm
Well I found myself a genie,
said she'd grant a wish for me
A#
And all I had to do for her
C
was love her endlessly
Csus2
So I asked my dad about it and he said,
"Son, life's a game we play."
A#
So I closed my eyes, held her and said,
A
"Take me away"
[Verse 4]
Dm
Let's live in a lighthouse
on the Maritime shore
A#
And we'll hang a wreath to loneliness
upon our lighthouse door
Csus2
But we never made the ocean,
she never followed through
A#
She said the day she left,
A
you know, I really thought you knew
[Chorus]
A# F C
Oh the time moves slow
A# F C
But you can't go where you want to go
A# F C
But, oh the time slips away
Dm A# C
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Solo]

[Verse 5]
Dm
Well I went back home to see my dad,
and I walked through the door
A#
To his photographs of Hank and Johnny,
lying on the floor
Csus2
Hank had a hole shot through his mouth
and Johnny in the head
A#
There were crickets in hallway
A
and Dad awake in bed
[Verse 6]
Dm
He was sitting in the darkness
with just a cigarette light
A#
Said he went a little crazy
sometime in the night
Csus2
I never asked him about the pictures
though it was clear to me
A#
He shot 'em for the life
A
and the man he wouldn't be
[Chorus]
A# F C
Oh the time moves slow
A# F C
And you can't go where you want to go
A# F C
But, oh the time slips away
Dm A# C
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Chorus]
A# F C
Oh the time moves slow
A# F C
And you can't go where you want to go
A# F C
But, oh the time slips away
Dm A# C
Day after day, day after day
Day after day after day after day
[Outro]
