Capo 3 
 C/B- x20010 
All verses repeat same chord progression (C, Em, Am, F, G)
CJamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail 
Seems Emlike every Friday evenin' she'd find herself in jail 
Not a Amfriend this side of Houston with the time to throw her bail 
But she'll be Ffine, she'll be Gfine 
Spent a lifetime walkin' through the halls of a broken home 
Not a man round here still standin for the girl to call her own 
Every time she tried to hold him she'd just ended up alone 
But there's still time, there's still time 
Davey drove a taxi through the streets of Boston town 
Like the billboards up above him the world just wore him down 
Only soul he'd ever cared for was the one he'd never found 
But he'll be fine, he'll be fine 
Broken half of winter with a wind chill ten below 
Davey sittin in is kitchen laughin' 'bout how the world had done him so 
Then the postman burst his bubble with a letter from below 
And now it's time, now it's time 
Chorus:
FAnd there's a Glot of Cpeople C/Brunnin' Am'round 
FNot quite Csure which way to Ggo 
FBut as for Gme I Cthink I C/Bfinally Amfound 
FIt's just easy Gcome and easy Cgo     G  
Jamie grabbed a bottle threw her apron on the bar 
Packed her whole world in a suitcase and tossed it in the car 
Woke up in Texarkana wonderin' how she got this far 
And on her own, on her own 
Stranger at the motel let Jamie stay for free 
She was gone before the daybreak on her way to Tennessee 
Lookin' to make the whole world over into a place she wants to be 
But not alone, not alone 
Davey left his taxi in the bottom of a Beantown lake 
He said this whole world's full of chance and this is one I gotta take 
So he caught the line to Nashville to finally find his break 
And make a home, make a home 
As the train flew out of Boston, his whole world passed him by 
He said I spent a lifetime runnin' and now's the time to try 
If I can't find someone to hold me then my dreams will surely die 
And I'll be gone, I'll be gone 
Repeat Chorus 
Bridge: 
When AmDavey hit the pavement 
the Fsky was almost grey 
He lit a Csmoke off of the sidewalk 
To Gdrive the storm away 
And when AmJamie turned the corner 
With the Fworld upon her brow 
Davey Csaid I must be dreamin' 
How Gcould this happen now 
And Amthen she walked right towards him 
Looked him Fright up in the eye 
CDavey reached out for forever 
And GJamie walked on by 
Last Chorus:

Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail

Seems like every Friday evenin' she'd find herself in jail

Not a friend this side of Houston with the time to throw her bail

F G

But she'll be fine, she'll be fine

Spent a lifetime walkin' through the halls of a broken home

Not a man round here still standin for the girl to call her own

Every time she tried to hold him she'd just ended up alone

But there's still time, there's still time

Davey drove a taxi through the streets of Boston town

Like the billboards up above him the world just wore him down

Only soul he'd ever cared for was the one he'd never found

But he'll be fine, he'll be fine

Broken half of winter with a wind chill ten below

Davey sittin in is kitchen laughin' 'bout how the world had done him so

Then the postman burst his bubble with a letter from below

And now it's time, now it's time

Chorus:

F G C C/B Am

And there's a lot of people runnin' 'round

F C G

Not quite sure which way to go

F G C C/B Am

But as for me I think I finally found

F G C G

It's just easy come and easy go

Jamie grabbed a bottle threw her apron on the bar

Packed her whole world in a suitcase and tossed it in the car

Woke up in Texarkana wonderin' how she got this far

And on her own, on her own

Stranger at the motel let Jamie stay for free

She was gone before the daybreak on her way to Tennessee

Lookin' to make the whole world over into a place she wants to be

But not alone, not alone

Davey left his taxi in the bottom of a Beantown lake

He said this whole world's full of chance and this is one I gotta take

So he caught the line to Nashville to finally find his break

And make a home, make a home

As the train flew out of Boston, his whole world passed him by

He said I spent a lifetime runnin' and now's the time to try

If I can't find someone to hold me then my dreams will surely die

And I'll be gone, I'll be gone

It's just easy come and easy go
