VERSE 1

Am
So listen up. (So listen up)
C
I worked in daylight feeding fashion to housewives.
Am 
For just this once. (For just this once)
C
I'll take my chances at truck stops and state lines.

G
Go ahead and tell them again.
Am
Well I think that I know that they won't remember
C
Go out and tell them twice.
Am                          C
Yeah, twice is nice, but three times is just right.

CHORUS

G                 Am
Hey, hey, now we're almost home.
C                                 Am
I'm missing you to death but it's all for the best I know.
G                  Am
Hey, hey, we're not far from home.
C                                Am
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight.

VERSE 2

Am
So listen up. (So listen up)
C
My old friends have been dropping like houseflies.
Am                                            C
The smoking gun still sits in my pocket and I know how to use it.

G
Go ahead and tell them again.
Am                                C
Well I think that I know that I won't forgive them
Am
For turning their backs when we started to get busy.
G                            Am            C
Well yeah twice is fine but three times is just right.

I'm missing you to death but to each his own.
G                  Am
Hey, hey, we're not far from home.
C                   Am
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight.
G                   Am
Hey, hey, now we're almost home.

I'll swallow my pride and push back my seat tonight.

Our time is almost here. (This isn't like us anyway)
