Jack’s Song (Catherine MacLellan)
Capo 1
[Intro]
Am E7 E7 Am
[Verse 1]
Am E7
Gotta watch your footing, gotta watch your speed
Am
Gotta watch the way that you make their hearts bleed
E7
Did you even know you were playing that game
Am
It’s time to take a break from that same, same, same
[Chorus]
Dm Am
You’re not getting any younger
Dm E7
They’re not cutting you no slack
Am
You got to own what you did
E7 Am
Cause you can not take it back
[Verse 2]
Am E7
You’ve been burning bridges while trying to break bread
Am
You’ve been lying down with those thoughts in your head
E7
Can feel the storm a’coming, it’s been coming for days
Am
You’ve been making friends with those south city strays
[Chorus]
Dm Am
You’re not getting any younger
Dm E7
They’re not cutting you no slack
Am
You got to own what you did
E7 Am
Cause you can not take it back
[Instrumental]
Dm Am Dm E7 Am E7 Am (play chorus)
[Verse 3]
Am E7
Before, my eyes were blinded, I couldn’t see a thing
Am
I was handing out all those diamond rings
E7
Stolen from my captors, borrowed from my friends
Am
When the darkness came, yeah, I could finally see the end
[Chorus]
Dm Am
You’re not getting any younger
Dm E7
They’re not cutting you no slack, Jack
Am
You got to own what you did
E7 Am
Cause you can not take it back
[Instrumental]
Dm Am Dm E7 Am E7 Am x2
[Chorus]
Dm Am
You’re not getting any younger
Dm E7
They’re not cutting you no slack, Jack
Am
You got to own what you did
E7 Am
Cause you can not take it back
Am
You got to own what you did
E7 Am
Cause you can not take it back.
[Outro]
Am E7 Am
