A Clock Was Ticking

Chords
pin

G
The teacher had you write a letter, you were eight years old
           C
About the man that you'd become and the positions you'd hold
             D                       Am
But this was long before you and Jackie Geronimo met
       C               D
In the Prelude Park at midnight
Now when it came to bells and whistles, Jackie did not lack
And when she kissed you on the kisser, boy, you kissed her back
Now you tell her that you love her and she cuts you slack
When you drink with your buddies on the weekend

C                            G
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
               G           D/F#                    Em
You spend your whole life dropping nickels in the bucket
D             C
Wakin' up at dawn
          Bm                  C             Am
And while Jackie bestowed the joys of fingerlickin'
                     D          C    C/B Am G
The clock up on the wall was tickin'
