[G#] [G] I've
[E] [C#]
[Em] [G]
got five minutes [Em] to sneak a [G] cigarette, five minutes to [D] myself.
[G] Back behind the screen door of Andy's luncheonette, and I ain't got [D] time to worry about [G] my health.
My boss Andy says I smoke myself to death.
Andy, he reminds me some of [D]
you.
[G]
Back when you [D] were Romeo [Em] and I was Juliet.
[G] West Texas, [D] Capulet, and [G] Maltaguire.
[Em]
Now I don't think too much [C] about [G] you anymore.
We weren't much more than [D] kids.
It was [Em] nearly 20 years ago [C] I shut and locked that door.
[G] I've got five minutes, not much [D] time to [G] reminisce.
Most nights I come home from work and [Em] I pour a glass of [G] wine.
[D] Sometimes it's three or four before I stop.
[G] And Jessie makes a sandwich if I [Em] sleep through supper [G] time.
And [D] she leaves me on the couch to sleep it [G] off.
Now Jessie just turned 17 and [Em] she's wild as she can [G] be.
And there ain't nothing I [D] can do.
[G] Last weekend she ran off to meet [Em] a boy in [G] Tennessee.
[C] [D] Just like I used to [G] run to you.
[E] And I [Em] gave her hell when she [C] came home this afternoon.
[G] Mascara running down her [D] face.
It seems [Em] like history repeats itself [C] and it ain't up to you.
[G] And in five [Em] minutes [D]
your whole life [G] can change.
[Em] [G]
[C] [G]
And he's [D] good to me and [Em] I can see it in his [G] eyes.
He'd love to take [D] your place.
[G] Something deep [E] inside me [Em] just withers up [G] and dies.
To [C] make love to [D] him and only see [G] your face.
[Em] Somehow I've let myself [C] go gently [G] down the street.
Fine example I'd have [D] set.
Between the [Em] working and the living
and [C] the ghosts that haunt my [G] dreams.
I've got [Bm] five [Em] minutes.
[G]
And I'm [D] gonna smoke this [G] cigarette.
[D] [Em] [Bm] [C]
[G]
[D] [Em] [D] [C]
