Todd Snider – 24 Hours A Day (Guitar)

  C
Skinny young man with born again eyes

     F                   C
And Jesus tattoo on his arm

    C
He leans on the wall while the traffic goes by

        F                       G
At the gasmart at Fairview and Farm

   C
A rap song pounds from an '83 Caddy

          F                      C
While he waits on a payphone to ring

       F                      C
Been standing around since a quarter past nine

  G                    C
Still hasn't heard a thing

F   G       C   F   G       C *
24 hours a day, 24 hours a day

 F              G         C          F
Sign says we're open, and man says you'll pay

C    G      C
24 hours a day

 C
Backed up on Farm, car horns are screamin'

        F                       C
'Cause some guys Suburban has stalled

    C
He guesses her daddy must be back home

  F                    G
Otherwise she'd have called

    C
He thinks to himself, I guess I can't blame him

    F                       C
It wasn't so smart what we did

     F                  C
A uniformed cop gets in line with his coffee

  G                   C
Someone yells at her kid

F   G       C   F   G       C *
24 hours a day, 24 hours a day

 F              G                    F
Sign says we're open, and man says you'll pay

C    G      C
24 hours a day

 C
Car load of drunks, pulls up in a hurry

       F                        C
For a six-pack before it's too late

      C
He starts to dial, to leave one more message

           F                G
Stops and decides just to wait

  C
Could have been different and maybe it couldn't

      F                            C
With some things it's too late to learn

  F                      C
Fumes from the gasoline hang in the air

  G                      C
World just continues to turn

F   G       C   F   G       C *
24 hours a day, 24 hours a day

 F              G         C          F
Sign says we're open, and man says you'll pay

C    G      C
24 hours a day
