[Verse 1]
Am
Dad never started drinking
'til he was thirty-five
F
And once he found the power
he made up for his lost time
Gsus2
Go outside and catch a cricket,
then unplug the phone
F
Said their singing kept him company,
E
when we'd leave him alone
[Verse 2]
Am
Those were days of feeling awkward,
being seventeen and such
F
Hoping I could find some comfort,
in a deacon's daughter's touch
Gsus2
I'd spend time out in the desert
feeling lonely with a friend
F
And we'd talk about leaving,
E
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
Am F G
Day after day, day after day
Day after day

[Verse 3]
Am
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
Gsus2
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,
E
"Take me away"
[Verse 4]
Am
Let's live in a lighthouse
on the Maritime shore
F
And we'll hang a wreath to loneliness
upon our lighthouse door
Gsus2
But we never made the ocean,
she never followed through
F
She said the day she left,
E
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
Am F G
Day after day, day after day
Day after day

[Verse 5]
Am
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
Gsus2
Hank had a hole shot through his mouth
and Johnny in the head
F
There were crickets in hallway
E
and Dad awake in bed
[Verse 6]
Am
He was sitting in the darkness
with just a cigarette light
F
Said he went a little crazy
sometime in the night
Gsus2
I never asked him about the pictures
though it was clear to me
F
He shot 'em for the life
E
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
Am 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
Am F G
Day after day, day after day
Day after day after day after day
