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

G             Am
Maybe I cover too much ground,

            C                  G
I move from town to town since I grew up

G                       Am
Could my dreams take up too much space?

            C                      G
I’ll never find a place that’s big enough

    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

G                           Am
Marc sounds good, he’s been working hard

         C                        G
Couldn’t punch a card to save his life

G                       Am
Says he’s glad that he quit the road

              C                         G
He says he’s gettin’ old and missed his wife

G                 Am
Little Em’s been asleep since 9

               C                      G
I’m sure she’s doin’ fine, she always is

G                    Am
Dad won’t answer his phone at night

            C                            G
But I guess that’s alright, the place is his

    Em                   D
The chairs are up on the bar now

            Em           D
And they’re askin’ me to leave

     Em              D
So I give the girl a bill

                          C
And start rollin’ down my sleeves

G               Am
In my pocket, directions back

           C                           G
Across the railroad tracks, to where I crash

G                   Am
Maybe I should wave down a car

           C                     G
I won’t be goin’ far, and I have cash

G                      Am
Think I blocked just a park away

            C                         G
But I can’t really say, it’s been all night

G                     Am
How I wish you could call me here

         C                      G
You just disappeared, it wasn’t right

        Em                    D
And the streetlights help a little

            Em            D
But they’re barely half alive

      Em                   D
And I don’t feel much like walkin’

                    C
I sure as hell can’t drive

G                     Am
Close your eyes and remember this

            C                      G
It won’t be back again, it’s almost gone

G                     Am
Even times that don’t seem like much

             C                         G
Will be your only crutch, when you’re alone

G                           Am
Time moves slow when you’re seventeen

            C                       G
And then it picks up steam at twenty-one

G                    Am
Pretty soon you’ll remember when

            C                        G
You could remember when, you loved someone
