Whiskey at the Pastime
Key of F
(Capo 5)  
 F(C)    Am(Em)     Bb(F)     C(G) 
Verse One
 F(C)   			      Am(Em)    
I wasn't meant for this place, it sure don't feel like home
	 Bb(F)    		 C(G)
We got a 12-lane highway and nowhere to go
 F(C)   				 Am(Em)    
It's not a bad city, but it's somebody else's dream
	 Bb(F)    		 C(G)
All this pounding on the pavement makes me wants to scream
Chorus:
 F(C)   				 Am(Em)    
I wanna be drinkin Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
	 Bb(F)    		 C(G)		 F(C)    Am(Em)     Bb(F)     C(G) 
I got a big city walk, and a small town on my mind
Verse Two
I know I gotta be here now, I know I gotta pay my dues
There's so much to gain, but there's so much you lose
Everybody's got a dream that'll split them straight in half
You gotta take a little time out, a little time to sit back
Chorus
Bridge
	 Bb(F)    		 C(G)
My heart's been jumbled and my spirit's off
		 Dm(Am)				 Am(Em)
I rarely tell the truth now, when I do I keep my fingers crossed
	 Bb(F)    		 C(G)
Everything moves so fast I can barely catch my breath
	 Dm(Am)				 Am(Em)
Everyone tugging at my sleeve, there won’t be much of me left
Verse Three
So I'm gonna head up north, gonna see about a little town
Some places you just get lost, some places you know you've been found
So I'm gonna head up north, gonna see about a little town
Some places you just get lost, some places...
Chorus:
Well, you can find me drinking Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
I got a big city walk, and small town on my mind
Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
Trading this big city walk for that small town on my mind
