_ [G] I've got five _ _ minutes to sneak a cigarette, _

_ [G] _ Back behind [D] the screen door [Em] of Andy's _ [G] luncheonette, _ and I ain't got [D] time to worry about my [G] health. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My boss [D] Andy says [Em] I smoke myself to [G] death, _ _ _ [C] _
and he reminds me [D] some of you.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Back when you were [D] Romeo [Em] and I was [G] Juliet, _ _ West Texas, _ [D] Capulet, and [G] Montague. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _
I don't think too much [C] about you anymore, _ [G] _ _ _ _
we weren't much [D] more than kids.
_ _ _ It [Em] was nearly twenty _ years ago [C] I shut and locked that door.

_ Most nights [Bm] I come [D] home from work and [Em] I pour a glass of [G] wine. _ _ _
[C] Sometimes it's three or four before [D] I stop. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] And Jessie makes [D] a sandwich if [Em] I sleep through _ [G] suppertime.

Now Jessie just [D] turned seventeen, and [Em] she's wild as she can [G] be. _ _
[C] _ And there ain't nothing I can [D] do. _ _ _ _ _
[G] Last weekend she [D] ran off to meet a [Em] boy in Tennessee, [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ just like [D] I used to run [G] to you.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] And I gave her hell when she [C] came home this afternoon, _ _ _
[G] _ _ mascara running down [D] her face.
_ _ _ Seems [Em] like history _ repeats itself, [C] and it ain't up to you. _
_ _ [G] And in _ [D] _
[Em] five minutes, _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] your whole life [G] can change. _

_ _ _ [G] _ Now Andy, he's [D] good to me, [Em] and I can see it in his _
[G] eyes.

He'd love to take your place, _ _
_ _ _ [G] but something deep inside me [Em] just withers up and [G] dies.
[E] To [C] make love to [D] him and only see your [G] face. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ Somehow I've let myself [C] go gently down the street.
