Intro
Jimmy died on his couch yesterday
A friend of his ex-wife called me to say
He just gave it to God, slipped from the living
With the bills piling up and a back that was giving in
Its been years since Ive seen anyone
Now Im sitting here, in the dark
Stalling out in my car
Wishing I could bum a light
From the ghost of the gang tonight
Kathy lost a nephew under the wheels of a train
In a midday suicide after a losing streak
He just stood on the tracks and gave it to glory
I never called her, to say Im sorry, my friend
Its been G years, but Im Am thinking about you
C And all of your tears and Im Em sitting here in the G dark
Afraid to make a stupid call
Wishing I could bum a light
From the C ghost of the gang D tonight
C Tonight Im gonna take that ride for
The G years we missed and the D friends that died
C Sideswiped baby on the road somehow with
A G pack of dreams that just D werent allowed
Maybe youre C walking those halls all quiet and sad
Or G sitting in the dark all D scared and mad
Feel my C hand reach across and dont forget
Where you G come from baby, cause theres D truth in C it
Yeah we G huddled against the Am cold in those days
By the C light of a fire in a pep-rally haze
With the G smoke and lives past, and a Am reason for living
No C matter how bad it got, we wouldnt give in to Em it
Its been G years, since Ive Am seen anyone
C Or cried these tears now I'm Em sitting here in the G dark,
Am stalling out in my D car
Wishing I could bum ride
From the ghost of the gang tonight
The ghost of the gang tonight
