Intro: G Cadd9 G G x3
Dsus4 Cadd9 G G
G Cadd9 G
So I sit on this table for one
G Cadd9 G
And pour me a drink that'll last
G Cadd9 G
I'm not drunk I just miss being young
Dsus4 Cadd9 G
And I grew old too fast
G Cadd9 G
My wife she breaks and she bends
G Cadd9 G
My children they don't understand
G Cadd9 G
I came here tonight in search of a friend
Dsus4 Cadd9 G
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
G Cadd9 G
I sit on this table for one
G Cadd9 G
And I have been here before
G Cadd9 G
It's a little less than I'd had in mind
Dsus4 Cadd9 G
But I wouldn't ask for more
G Cadd9 G
And my mother she taught me to write
G Cadd9 G
And my father he taught me his trade
G Cadd9 G
And I wish that they could both be here tonight
Dsus4 Cadd9 G
To see what a mess I've made
C
'cause I've swallowed my tongue
C
and I've polished my gun
G
and I've sat on my secrets for years
C
with my stiff upper lip
C
my composure won't slip
D
and I've hidden each silent salty tear
C
my sons and my daughters don't know me at all
C
I've dug in trenches and put up walls
G
I whisper I love you each night as they sleep
C
But no one hears me when I speak
C
On this table for one
D
Strum this once
G Cadd9 G
So I sit on this table for one
G Cadd9 G
I won't go till they tell me to leave
G Cadd9 G
Why'd they teach me to follow my dreams
Dsus4 Cadd9 G
When dreams are all they can be?
