[INTRO]
C G F C G .
[VERSE ONE]
C Remember when we'd sit around an ol' fire
G And you'd get your guitar out to sing
F We'd sing CCR, "Jersey Giant," "Don't Look Back in Anger"
C G Or anything by Bruce Springsteen
C Back when ol' Anna would throw her ol' hands up
G With her face framed by the fire
F And it got so late, we'd take hits from a joint
C G Mistake shootin' stars for telephone wires
C And now I've grown partial to havin' a heart full
G Of memories I cannot bear
F The girls in summer clothes and Lord knows the soft scent
C G Of her long, dark, river washed hair
[INSTRUMENTAL]
C G F C G .
[VERSE TWO]
C And I think I might pack a bag in the night
G Find me some small town out west
F Start over, find closure and just say "I'm sorry"
C G To that sweet girl who tore off that dress
C The way the moon's crestin' over green pines
G Restin' next to that coastline I rode
F It made me think of you in the dirt out in Santa Fe
C G And all of the good times I stole
C Remember when Shawn was drunk quotin' Kerouac
G Remember when Steve quit the band
F I don't know nothin', but if I knew somethin'
C G I'd know that I've helped all I can
[INSTRUMENTAL]
C G F C G .
[VERSE THREE]
C I think it's about time that I sever it
G You've never looked more needy or desperate
F And I've never been more worried about
C G The state of the world, angry girl
C The time just stays passin', I think of my dad
G When the Army and Navy game's on
F And every night, I wonder if he's proud of the man
C G Who threw fists that late night in his lawn
C I don't like bein' famous, they tame you, then paint you
G As someone that you've never been
F And I'm pissed that my mama can't see me singin'
C G For this crowd out in deep Michigan
C And I'll leave you with somethin', don't leave with nothin'
G Be safe on your long drive home
F There ain't nothin' in this poor man's apartment
C G Apart from bein' alone
C And I wish you were around this time of year
G Every time they drop that ball
F Drinkin' parkin' lot beers while the fire disappears
C G Over Times Square and Webster Hall
