Intro G riff
[G]
Twenty-seven dollars in an old jean jacket
[Em]
And there’s dust under the collar
Because I’ve been walking for hours
[C]
But I’m almost where I said that I
[G]
would be
Just like long television
This heart full of ambition
Has been haunting my dreams
Reaching for grander things
And I never really knew
If they could be mine
CHORUS:
[Em] [C] [D] [G]
But I’m out way past my prime
[Em] [C] [D] [G]
Looking for reasons I didn’t get my time
Keep a bottle top list of the chances I missed
While I’m on my way to that vacant place
And I promised myself I would not escape
One more drink and I’m anyone’s useless mess
Just a helpless man with no self defense
If I’m not yours, what are you looking for?
CHORUS
My knees aren’t bleeding when I seem defeated
If I try to save face before I make it
to where I set out
And swore that I would find
CHORUS x2
