Verse 1

Em Dad never started drinking 'til he was thirty-five C And once he found the power he made up for his lost time Dsus2 Go outside and catch a cricket, then unplug the phone C Said their singing kept him company, B when we'd leave him alone

Verse 2

Em Those were days of feeling awkward, being seventeen and such C Hoping I could find some comfort, in a deacon's daughter's touch Dsus2 I'd spend time out in the desert feeling lonely with a friend C And we'd talk about leaving, B but it was years before we did

Chorus

C G D Oh the time moves slow C G D But you can't go where you want to go C G D But, oh the time slips away Em C D Day after day, day after day Day after day

Verse 3

Em Well I found myself a genie, said she'd grant a wish for me C And all I had to do for her D was love her endlessly Dsus2 So I asked my dad about it and he said, "Son, life's a game we play." C So I closed my eyes, held her and said, B "Take me away"

Verse 4

Em Let's live in a lighthouse on the Maritime shore C And we'll hang a wreath to loneliness upon our lighthouse door Dsus2 But we never made the ocean, she never followed through C She said the day she left, B you know, I really thought you knew

Chorus

C G D Oh the time moves slow C G D But you can't go where you want to go C G D But, oh the time slips away Em C D Day after day, day after day Day after day

Verse 5

Em Well I went back home to see my dad, and I walked through the door C To his photographs of Hank and Johnny, lying on the floor Dsus2 Hank had a hole shot through his mouth and Johnny in the head C There were crickets in hallway B and Dad awake in bed

Verse 6

Em He was sitting in the darkness with just a cigarette light C Said he went a little crazy sometime in the night Dsus2 I never asked him about the pictures though it was clear to me C He shot 'em for the life B and the man he wouldn't be

Chorus

C G D Oh the time moves slow C G D And you can't go where you want to go C G D But, oh the time slips away Em C D Day after day, day after day Day after day
