IntroGCadd9GG x3 Dsus4Cadd9GGGCadd9G
So I sit on this table for one
GCadd9G
And pour me a drink that'll last
GCadd9G
I'm not drunk I just miss being young
Dsus4Cadd9G
And I grew old too fast
My wife she breaks and she bends
My children they don't understand
I came here tonight in search of a friend (These are same chords)
But I'm the invisible man
C
'cause I've swallowed my tongue
and I've polished my gun
G
and I've sat on my secrets for years
C
with my stiff upper lip
my composure won't slip
D
and I've hidden each silent salty tear
Intro riff
I sit on this table for one
And I have been here before
It's a little less than I'd had in mind (Same as other verses)
But I wouldn't ask for more
And my mother she taught me to write
And my father he taught me his trade
And I wish that they could both be here tonight (Same)
To see what a mess I've made
'cause I've swallowed my tongue
and I've polished my gun
and I've sat on my secrets for years (Same as other Chorus)
with my stiff upper lip
my composure won't slip
and I've hidden each silent salty tear
my sons and my daughters don't know me at all
I've dug in trenches and put up walls
I whisper I love you each night as they sleep (Same as Chorus)
But no one hears me when I speak
On this table for one
Strum this once
GCadd9G
So I sit on this table for one
GCadd9G
I won't go till they tell me to leave
GCadd9G
Why'd they teach me to follow my dreams
Dsus4Cadd9G
When dreams are all they can be?
