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?
