C Am7 Em G7 Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark C Am7 Em G7 There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall Am7 F Am7 F He has cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes C G Things that remind him: 'Life has been good' Fmaj7 Dm11 Twenty-five years he's worked at the paper C G Gsus4 G A man's here to take him downstairs C F G7 And I'm sorry, Mr Jones it's C Am7 Em7 G7 time

C Am7 Em G7 There was no party, there were no songs C Am7 Em G7 'Cause today's just a day like the day that he started Am7 F Am7 F No one is left here that knows his first name C G And life barrels on like a runaway train Fmaj7 Dm11 Where the passengers change they don't change anything C G Gsus4 G You get off; someone else can get on C F G7 And I'm sorry, Mr Jones it's C Am7 Em7 G7 time

[Verse 3]
C Am7 Em G7 Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement C Am7 Em G7 Projecting some slides onto a plain white Am7 F Am7 F Canvas and traces it, fills in the spaces C G He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right Fmaj7 Dm11 Yeah, and all of these bastards have taken his place C G Gsus4 G He's forgotten but not yet gone
