Primeiro acorde: G 8 acordes identificados

Intro: G C D C Am D

G

Teacher had you write a letter, you were eight-years-old

C

About the man that you'd become and the positions you'd hold

D C Am D

But this was long before you and Jackie Geronimo met in the Prelude Park at midnight

G

Now when it came to bells and whistles Jackie did not lack

C

When she kissed on the kisser boy you kissed her back

D C Am D

Now you tell her that you love her and she cuts you slack when you drink with your buddies on the weekend.

C D

And the weeks fly by and the years roll on

G G/F# Em C

You spend your whole life dropping nickels in the bucket, waking up at dawn

Am B7 Em C

While Jackie bestolled the joys of finger licking

D C G

The clock upon the wall was tickin'

G

You got yourself a job cleaning hospital floors

C

But Jackie had a baby and she had five more

D C Am D

They pay you just enough to drag your ass to the store to buy bread, milk and Better Homes and Gardens

G

Jackie flips the pages and she dreams little dreams

C

A cottage in the country built with real wood beams

D C Am D

There's a baby in the bedroom he's starting to scream she holds him though he probably won't remember

C D

And the weeks fly by and the years roll on

G G/F# Em C

Sometimes dreams are all you've got to keep you going when the day gets long

Am B7 Em C

And you gave up so many just to make a living

D C G

That clock upon the wall was tickin'

G

Now the kids were all grateful when they left the nest

C

And Jackie wasn't perfect but she did her best

D C Am D

You seized the opportunity to get you some rest but you can't sleep on the count of screaming grandkids

G

The golden years are meant to leave a gleam in your eye

C

You're starting to discover it's a great big lie

D C Am D

They work you like a dog till you quit or you die but you cant quit 'cause Jackie needs the benefits

C D

And the weeks fly by and the years roll on

G G/F# Em C

They say patience is a virtue but the doctor says she don't have long

Am B7 Em C

And you stood up and tried your damn just not to listen

D C G

But that clock upon the wall was tickin'

G C

When they told you to clear the room that's when it hit you

G D

You watched as a caravan took your sweet heart away

G C

The arguments and fights and money troubles seemed so worthless

G D G

As the kids throw yellow roses on her grave

C D

And the weeks fly by and the years roll on

G G/F# Em C

House is quiet now everything inside seems to know she's gone

Am B7 Em

There's a picture of you both sixteen-years-old kissing

D C G

That clock upon the wall... was tickin'

Solo: G C D C Am D (2x)

G

You always thought you'd had a chance, but it was somewhere hid

C D C Am

Now you come to the conclusion that you never did

D

(Have a chance, now)

G C D C Am D G
