 D   Bm   Ax2
In aDll my life, in aBmll my years,
We'd tAake it till it hurts then wait until it heals
We'd watch the nDight dry up and take a loBmnely ride
Oh, we're not goAing into work if you're right
Oh, tDake my place
A stBmand up kid
I was thiAnking all about it
Cause I knew where we'd been
He shiDfted in his chair
With a shBmeer delight
It took me weAeks for these words
Weeks to admit I was riGght
And there's a lDot of everythAing
Or oh, till it grows
Or oh, till it grGows
And there's a lDot of everythAing
MBmarch till you fallD  
And liEmsten to it fade aAway
FBmumble at the doorD  
While the telEmephone rings, the telF#mephone rings
And Bmhas it been a week yet? FDine.
EmLinger in the reveAlry
It haBmppens to us all otheDrwise
EmTurn while we run but F#mact like you mean it
DShe says we've got one foot out the door
GShe says we've got one foot out the door
DShe says we've got one foot out the doorG  
In aDll my life, aBmll my years,
We waAited till its over and waited till we're here
We see the cDar drive up and the kBmids playing nice
Be sAure to rest up for the night
And aDll my love and Bmall my tears,
AYes, you made a difference
And yes, you made it clear
We watched the sDky light up
And shake from sBmide to side
It took me yeAars for these words
Years to admit I was riGght
And so it gDoes for everytAhing
And oh, so it goes
Oh, so it gGoes
And so it gDoes for everytAhing
MBmarch till you fallD  
And liEmsten to it fade aAway
FBmumble at the doorD  
While the telEmephone rings, the telF#mephone rings
And Bmhas it been a week yet? FDine.
EmLinger in the reveAlry
It haBmppens to us all otheDrwise
EmTurn while we run but aAct like you keep it
One plDace
DWe said she's got one foot out the door
GWe said she's got one foot out the door
DWe said she's got one foot out the doorG

D Bm A

D Bm

In all my life, in all my years,

We'd take it till it hurts then wait until it heals

D Bm

We'd watch the night dry up and take a lonely ride

Oh, we're not going into work if you're right

Oh, take my place

A stand up kid

I was thinking all about it

Cause I knew where we'd been

He shifted in his chair

With a sheer delight

It took me weeks for these words

Weeks to admit I was right

D A

And there's a lot of everything

Or oh, till it grows

D A

And there's a lot of everything

Bm D

March till you fall

Em A

And listen to it fade away

Bm D

Fumble at the door

Em F#m

While the telephone rings, the telephone rings

Bm D

And has it been a week yet? Fine.

Em A

Linger in the revelry

Bm D

It happens to us all otherwise

Em F#m

Turn while we run but act like you mean it

She says we've got one foot out the door

D G

She says we've got one foot out the door

D Bm

In all my life, all my years,

We waited till its over and waited till we're here

D Bm

We see the car drive up and the kids playing nice

Be sure to rest up for the night

D Bm

And all my love and all my tears,

Yes, you made a difference

And yes, you made it clear

We watched the sky light up

And shake from side to side

It took me years for these words

Years to admit I was right

D A

And so it goes for everything

And oh, so it goes

Oh, so it goes

D A

And so it goes for everything

Bm D

March till you fall

Em A

And listen to it fade away

Bm D

Fumble at the door

Em F#m

While the telephone rings, the telephone rings

Bm D

And has it been a week yet? Fine.

Em A

Linger in the revelry

Bm D

It happens to us all otherwise

Em A

Turn while we run but act like you keep it

One place

We said she's got one foot out the door

D G

We said she's got one foot out the door

D G

We said she's got one foot out the door

D A

We said she's got one foot out the door
