_ [E] I'm not a good [A] person.
I'm not a good person.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ Where's that angel [B] with dirty [G] knees who wasn't hard to please when we first met?
_ _ She don't act like [B] she needs me [G] now.
She don't even seem to be upset.
_ _ Maybe I cover [F#] too much ground.
[G] I've been from town to town since I grew up.
_ Could my dreams take [F#] up too much space?
[G] I'll never find a place that's big enough.
[D] _ And my chairs grow up on the [D] bar now.
_ [G] And the table lights go [A] black.
So [Bm] I order one last [B] double and start calling [G] people back. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Mark sounds good.
He's been [E] working [A] hard.
He put a bunch of cards to save [G] his life.
_ _ Said he's glad that [B] he quit the [E] road.
He said [G] he's getting old.
He missed his wife.
_ _ _ Little M's been [E] asleep since nine.
[C] Sure she's doing fine.
She [G] always is.
_ _ Dad won't answer his phone at night.
But I guess that's alright.
He says it is.
[Bm] And my chairs are up on the [D] bar now.
And [Bm] they're asking me to [B] leave.
_ [Bm] So I get up the girls' [B] belt and start rolling [G] down my sleeves.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ In my pocket, [E] directions [A] back across [C] the railroad tracks to [G] where I'm at.
_ _ Maybe I should [Em] wave down [A] a car.
I won't be going far.
Now [G] I got a cab.
_ _ Thank God I'm blocked out [B] the park [A] away.
But I can't erase things.
It's been [G] all night.
_ _ How I wish you [B] would call me [A] here.
But you just disappeared.
[G] It wasn't right.
_ And my streetlights fell [D] a little low.
_ [G] But they're barely half [D] alive.
_ [G] And I don't feel much [D] like walking.
And I sure as [G] hell can't drive.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Close your eyes [A] and remember this.
It [C] won't be back again.
It's [G] almost gone.
_ _ _ Even in times that [F#] don't seem like much.
[G] Be your only crutch when you're alone.
_ _ Time moves slow when [E] you're seventeen.
[A] And then it picks up speed at [G] twenty-one.
_ _ Pray that this thing [B] you'll remember when [A] you could remember when you loved [G] someone.
