[Ebm]
He [B] decided [Bbm] he'd be better off [Eb] alone So [B] he left his wife [Bbm] and child and [Eb] went solo
He'll go
[Ebm] [B] to Summer Town [Bbm] and plan as hot [Eb] as hell
[Ebm] He [B] thinks back to what [Bbm] he had and where [Abm] he's now
[Ebm] Dreams [B] can't stop [Bb] when you're not in [B] the car
[Eb] He's [B] on [Bb] top, kicking all the [B] ladies hard
[Eb] Dreams [B] can't [A] stop, [Bb] but not with
[B] alcohol
[Eb] He [B] can't [Bbm] stop when you're not in [Abm] the car
[Eb] [Ebm] All [B] the faithful men [Bbm] encouraged it [Eb] this well
[Ebm] What [B] to say, James [Bbm] never really knew [Ebm] that well
His apology was [Bbm] more than they [Ebm] could stand
[B] Just a poor excuse [Bbm] for what's so [Abm] called a man
[Ebm] Dreams [B] can't stop,
[Bbm] hanging out in [B] the bar
[Ebm] He's [B] on top,
[Bbm] kicking all the [B] ladies hard
[Ebm] Dreams [F] can't [B] stop, [Bbm] but not with [B] alcohol
[Ebm] He [Abm] can't stop,
[Bbm] hanging out in [Abm] the bar

[B] [Eb]
[Ebm] So [B] I want you to [Bbm] be spirited [Eb] and brave
[Ebm] Found [B] someone to love, [Bbm] who'd never take [Eb] my place
He hung [B] from a pen, [Bbm] defeated his [Eb] own life
[Ebm] [B] Disappeared into [Bb] the closest [Abm] neon sign
[Ebm] Dreams [B] can't stop, [Bbm] hanging out [B] in the bar
[Ebm] He's [B] on top, [Bbm] kicking all the [B] ladies hard

[Abm] When I walk down this street I base it on five things
What you say and what you do
The man you work for
The man you work for
The man you work for
The man you work for
The man you work for
The man you work for
The man you work for
The man you work for
The man you work for
The man you work for
