intro E G A G x4   listen to the recording to get the rhythm of this which repeats throughout the song     

E          G     A   G  E        G A G              
You're the first one to get there
E               G    A  G  E     G A G              
And always the last one to leave
A           C     D  C  A     C D C  
You're the first one to chuckle
E        G    A  G   E     G A G              
But the last one to grieve
B7

I try to keep things simple... but you always need the works
A             C    D C     A                C D C  
Your life is marked... by numbers and symbols
E           G    A G      E                     G A G             
Excessive drinking.. from out of golden thimbles
B7
Just a moment of silence I'm needing
E            G    A   G    E                     G A G

You're dressed for summer... in the middle of December
