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

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

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