[Intro]

||: / / / / | / / / / :||[x2]
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am Am/G
I've got five--- minutes... to sneak a cigarette,
F G
Five minutes to my - self,
C C/B Am Am/G
Back behind the screen door of Andy's Luncheonette,
F G C Csus4 C
And I ain't got time to worry 'bout my health!
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am Am/G
My boss, Andy, says I smoke myself to death,
F G
Andy, he reminds me some of you,
C C/B Am Am/G
Back when you were Romeo, and I was Juliet,
F G C Csus4 C
West Texas Capu - let and Monta - gue!
[Verse 3]
C/B Am Am/G F
Now I don't think too much a - bout you anymore,
C C/E G
We weren't much more than kids,
G/B Am Am/G F
It was nearly twenty years a - go I shut and locked that door,
C C/B Am Am/G
Now I've got five------ minutes,
F G C C/B Am Am/G Fmaj7
Not much time to remi - nice!
||: / / / / | / / / / :|| [Riff x2]
[Verse 4]
C C/B Am Am/G
Most nights I come home from work, and I pour a glass of wine,
F G
Some - times it's three, or four, before I stop,
C C/B Am Am/G
And Jessie makes a sandwich... if I sleep through supper - time,
F G C Csus4 C
And she leaves me on the couch to sleep it off!
[Verse 5]
C C/B Am Am/G
Now, Jessie just turned seventeen, and she's wild as she can be,
F G
And there ain't nothing I can do,
C C/B Am Am/G
Last weekend she ran off to meet a boy in Tennes - see,
F G C Csus4 C
Just like I used to run to you!
[Verse 6]
C/B Am Am/G F
I gave her hell, when she came home this afternoon,
C C/E G
Mascara running down her face,
G/B Am Am/G F
Seems like history repeats it - self, and it ain't up to you,
C C/B Am Am/G
And in five---- minutes...
F G C C/B Am Am/G Fmaj7
...your whole life can change!
||: / / / / | / / / / :|| [Riff x2]
[Verse 7]
C C/B Am Am/G
Now, Andy, he's good to me, and I can see it in his eyes,
F G
He'd love to take your place,
C C/B Am Am/G
But something deep in - side me just... withers up and dies,
F G C Csus4 C
To make love to him, and only see your face!
[Verse 8]
C/B Am Am/G F
Somehow I've let my - self go gently down the stream,
C C/E G
A fine ex - ample I have set,
G/B Am Am/G F
Between the working and the living, and the ghosts that haunt my dreams,
C C/B Am Am/G
I've got five------ minutes,
F G C C/B Am Am/G Fmaj7
And I'm gonna smoke this cigar - tte!
