G Am
Where�s that angel with dirty knees
C G
Who wasn�t hard to please when we first met
G Am
She don�t act like she needs me now
C G
And she don�t even seem to be upset
Maybe I cover too much ground,
I move from town to town since I grew up
Could my dreams take up to much space?
I�ll never find a place that�s big enough
Same chords for the verse throughout the song
Chorus:
Em D
The chairs are up on the bar now
Em D
And the table lights go black
Em D
So I order one last double
C
And start calling people back
Marc sounds good, he�s been working hard
Couldn�t punch a card to save his life
Say�s he�s glad that he quit the road
He say�s he�s gettin� old and missed his wife
Little Em�s been asleep since 9
I�m sure she�s doin� fine, she always is
Dad won�t answer his phone at night
But I guess that�s alright, the place is his
Chorus:
The chairs are up on the bar now
And they�re askin� me to leave
So I give the girl a bill
And start rollin� down my sleeves
In my pocket, directions back
Across the railroad tracks, to where I crash
Maybe I should wave down a car
I won�t be goin� far, and I have cash
Think I blocked just a park away
But I can�t really say, it�s been all night
How I wish you could call me here
You just disappeared, it wasn�t right
Chorus:
And the Streetlights help a little
But they�re barely have alive
I don�t feel much like walkin�
I sure as hell can�t drive
Close your eyes and remember this
It won�t be back again, it�s almost gone
Even times that don�t seem like much
Will be your only crutch, when your alone
Time moves slow when you�re seventeen
And then it picks up steam at twenty-one
Pretty soon you�ll remember when
You could remember when, you loved someone
Play the Chords to the Chorus
Play chords or notes to pick the intro/verse
