[Verse 1]
There's a man in a Gcheap suit
Holding a Cbeer can
Standing on his Gback porch
Looking out past the D/F#highway
The sun is going Emdown
In a field of Cdry corn
And the slider keeps Gcatching
And the screen is D/F#torn
[Verse 2]
His tie is Gloose
His socks are tChin
He shakes the can Gonce
And goes back D/F#in
He walks between his Emchildren
And the television Cglow
To the kitchen for Ganother
To the living room D/F#alone
[Verse 3]
There's a knock-off EmGibson
Leaning in the Ccorner
Where he left it the Glast time
He felt like D/F#this
He pushes on the Gtuners
With his eyes shut Ctight
Runs out a figure with his Gmleft hand
Until the chord sounds D/F#right

And I know I'm going to go Gthere

[Verse 1]

There's a man in a cheap suit

Holding a beer can

Standing on his back porch

D/F#

Looking out past the highway

The sun is going down

In a field of dry corn

And the slider keeps catching

D/F#

And the screen is torn

[Verse 2]

His tie is loose

His socks are thin

He shakes the can once

D/F#

And goes back in

He walks between his children

And the television glow

To the kitchen for another

D/F#

To the living room alone

[Verse 3]

There's a knock-off Gibson

Leaning in the corner

Where he left it the last time

D/F#

He felt like this

He pushes on the tuners

With his eyes shut tight

Runs out a figure with his left hand

D/F#

Until the chord sounds right

[Bridge]

A7sus4 Dsus4 Csus2 Em Dsus4

When he sings he looks so far away

A7sus4 Dsus4 Csus2 Em Dsus4 Em

Like there's some - thing he almost remembers, And doesn't know how to say

C G D/F#

[Outro]

I see him from the doorway

I see that look in his eye

And I know I'm going to go there

D/F# G

Where my father's dreams lie
