Em G D C
Em G D C
[Verse 1]
Em G
Too old to work for wages
D C
No time left to kill
Em G
Put your eggs in one basket
D C
Mind that basket don't spill
Em G
You've got to be successful
D C
Just to be all right
Em G
Lest the old man's ghost comes walking
D C
In the middle of the night
[Verse 2]
Em G
Spend some years in the business
D C
Learn how the big boys play
Em G
Marry your high school sweetheart
D C
Man don't let her get away
G Em
And if it don't work out
You can walk away without a stitch
Em G
Wreckage in the rearview mirror
D C
Bouncing down a roadside ditch
[Chorus]
G Em
It's behind you now
D C B A G
It's behind you now
G Em D
The worst was over long ago
C B G Em
Pat yourself on the back
Em D C F
Stand up and take a bow
[Interlude]
G Em D C
[Verse 3]
Em G
There's voices all around you
D C
They're yelling Go Team
Em G
You're sitting at the top of the bleachers
D C
Staring at a laptop screen
Em G
You can't waste a minute
D C
You can't waste a one
Em G
The minutes are bought and paid for
D C
At least till the job gets done
[Interlude]
C B A
[Chorus]

It's behind you now

The worst was over long ago

Pat yourself on the back

Stand up and take a bow
[Interlude]
G Em D C
[Verse 4]
Em G
They're holding all of your phone calls
D C
But it's no relief
Em G
You're staring out the smoked glass window
D C
At the cars down on the cloverleaf
Em G
And a picture of a kid with a ball glove
D C
smiling at the lens
Em G
And a woman on a sailboat
D C
And all those years you just had to hope they'd bend
Em G
Well you pushed so hard you bent so far
That they won't either one get straight again
[Chorus]
G Em
It's behind you now
D C B A G
It's behind you now
G Em D
The worst was over long ago
C B G Em
Pat yourself on the back
Em D C F
Stand up and take a bow
[Outro]
