Em9
Old man sits at his desk
One year from retirement
G6
And he's up for review
Not quite sure what to do
D5
Each passing year
The workload grows
Em9 D5 G6/9 G13 Em
I'm always wishing I'm always wishing too late
Em9
For things to come my way
D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5
It always ends up the same
Em9 D5 G13 Em
I must be missing I must be missing the point
Em9 D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5
Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise
G6 Em9
So wait up I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
G6 Em9
There's so much to dream about there must be more to my life
Em9
Poor little tin man still swinging his axe
G6 D5
Even though his joints are clogged with rust
Em9 D5
My youth is slipping my youth is slipping away
Em9 D5 G6/9
Safe in monotony so safe day after day
Em9 D5 G6/9 G13 Em
My youth is slipping my youth is slipping away
Em9 D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5
Cold wind blows off the lake and I know for sure that it's too late
G6 Em9
So wait up I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
G6 Em9
There's so much to dream about there must be more to my life
G6 Em9
So wait up I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
G6 Em9
There's so much to dream about there must be more to my life
G6 Em9
Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die
G6 A5 Em9
So wait up for me x3
