Tone: [C]
Capo: 2
[C]Twenty years to see New York reflected on subway trains
[C]'Bout twenty more I'll be forty-four, head back to Tampa Bay
I killed a [Am]man there, in spite, and when he [F]died, I took his place [C]
[C]Eighteen made you callous to the kisses that you gave
[C]a coarse exchange, a cause for blame, and I stood out in the rain
You killed a [Am]man there, and I cried, but the [F]rain masked the hurt behind your [C]face
By the [Am]way dear we're alive, and it [F]hurts cause we survived it

Don't [E]wait until I [Am]drown to [F]save me from it
[C]Goodnight [E]Chicago, I [Am]killed a man to [F]make you love me
[C]If the water's warm, [Am]filling up my [F]head, I take
[C]Another one, [Am]Lord knows it's [F]hard to stay
[C]Sober! When [E]heaven's in your [Am]past and you have [F]hell to pay
[C]Sorry, I'm hung over, but I'm [F]sorry that I'm late
[C]Eighteen made you callous to the kisses that you gave
In one more I stood out in the [F]rain
