They got married early            Never had no money 
G5                   D5        C5                       G5              
 Then when he got laid off      They really hit the skids 
G5                   D5        C5                      G5               
 He started up his drinking      then they started fighting

 I'm not standing by               To watch you slowly die           So watch me walking         
            G5            D5               C5                G5                   D5  
 Out the door                   out the door                     out the door 
             C5                                           D5 
She said shove it Jack I'm walking out your fucking door

She went to her brothers, got a little bar work 
He went to the buttery, stayed about a year 
Then he wrote a letter, said I want to see you 
She thought he sounded better, she sent him up the fare 
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain 
On Olympic, to her door, to her door 
To her door, to her door 
  (And his heart was singing like a low down guitar...)

He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching 
Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit

Did they have a future, would he know his children? 
Could he make a picture, and get them all to fit? 
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the street 
In a Silvertop, to her 
Shaking in his seat, riding through the street 
In a Silvertop, to her door 
 
SOLO: same as before
