B  
Lunchtime Friday, leave work early 
C#  
Rushing through the suburbs to the station to catch the train 
E                     E  
Heading up to town to Dave's to get my glad rags on 
B  
Because lately I've been running down, little things catching up 
C#  
Excuses stretched thin and it's hard not giving up 
E                     E  
Tonight we're going to get it right, we're going to have us a good one 

C#                             B 
And the roll call is missing a name 
C#                                     A 
Since you left things haven't been the same 
            E                    B                        A  
But I don't blame you, there was nothing here to make you stay 
        C#                        B                        C# 
But I remember the way that you'd light up a room when you walk in, 
                   A                     E 
The way that you'd lead a crowd when you sing 
B                      A  
Jamie, this one is for you. 

B  C#  E   

B                                         C#  
Pre-club beers at Dan's before we hit the road 
We're nicely warmed up, pleasantly half-loaded 
E                    E  
Ready for a night on fire, we're going to get out the big guns 
B  
And I run down the numbers, scan through the faces 
C#  
Run through the plans, scout out the places 
E                                E  
I'm electrified, surrounded, but can't shake the feeling of still missing something or someone 

C#                             B 
And the roll call is missing a name 
C#                                     A 
Since you left things haven't been the same 
            E                    B                        A  
But I don't blame you, there was nothing here to make you stay 
        C#                        B                        C# 
But I remember the way that you'd light up a room when you walk in, 
                   A                     E 
The way that you'd lead a crowd when you sing 
B                      A     E 
Jamie, this one is for you. 
B                      A  
Jamie, this one is for you. 

A  (cont.)        Ab   E  B  
       I'm wide awake 
Ab  E  B        A    Ab   E  B  
      in the cityscape 
Ab  E B  A  

Ab  E        B               Ab  
You did your time out on the road 
    E       B       A       Ab  
One day you stayed away for good 
    E       B                Ab  
You found a home down by the shore 
  E        B         A       Ab 
A place to hang your hat and more 
            A                    Ab 
You sent me postcards to tell me of 
        B        A       Ab 
Slowing down and finding love 
               A                  Ab 
The thrill has gone from the city life 
              B    A 
I'm not far behind 

           C#                      B 
So you can strike my name from the roll call, 
C#             A 
When night falls I'm leaving 
E        B                    A  
There is nothing here to make me stay 
       C#                      B 
When I get to the coast I will send back a postcard 
   C#                      A 
To tell all my old friends all about my new start 
E    B                    A  
     Jamie I will see you soon. 
E    B                    A  
     Jamie I will see you soon. 
E    B                    A  
     Jamie I will see you soon. 
E    B                    A  
     Jamie I will see you soon.
