[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Csus2][G][Csus2][G][Bm][G][D][Em][G]
[Em][G][Csus2][G][Em][G]
[Csus2]

[Verse 1]
I've got [G]five [D]minutes [G]to [D]sne[Em]ak a cigarette[G][Csus2]
Five minutes to myself
[D]Bac[G]k behind the screen door
of [Em]Andy's luncheonette
[G]And I ain't [Csus2]got time
[D]to worry 'bout my [G]health
My boss [D]Andy says I smoke
[Em]myself [G]to death[Csus2]
Andy he reminds me some of [D]you
[G]Back when you were Romeo
[D]and [Em]I was Ju[G]liet
West [Csus2]Texas Cap[D]ulet and Montague

[Verse 2]
[G]Now [Em]I don't think too much about
[Csus2]you anymore[G]
We weren't much more than [D]kids
It was [Em]nearly twenty years ago I
[Csus2]shut and locked that door
Now I've got [G]five [Em]minutes[G][Csus2]
Not much [D]time to reminisce
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][Csus2][G][Em][G][Csus2]

[Verse 3]
[G]Most nights I come
home from work and [D]I p[Em]our a glass o[G]f wine
Some[Csus2]times it's three
or four before I [D]stop
[G]And Jessie makes a sandwic[D]h if I
sleep [Em]through [G]suppertime
And she [Csus2]leaves me on the couch
[D]to sleep it off[G]
Now Jessie just turned 17 and she's
[Em]wild as she can [G]be[Csus2]
And there ain't nothin' I can [D]do
Last [G]weekend she ran [D]off to meet
[Em]a boy in [G]Tennessee[Csus2]
Just like [D]I used to run to you
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
I gave her hell when she came
[Csus2]home this afte[G]rnoon
Mascara runnin' down her [D]face
Seems like [Em]history repeats itself,
and [Csus2]it ain't up to you
And in [G]five [Em]minutes[G][Csus2]
[D]Your whole life can change

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][G]
[Csus2][G][Em][D][Csus2][G]

[Verse 5]
Andy he's good to [G]me,
[D]and I can[Em] see it in his eyes
[G]He'[Csus2]d love to take your place[D]
[G]But somethin' deep ins[D]ide me
[Em]just withers up and [G]dies
To make [Csus2]love to him and
[D]only see your face
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Somehow I've let myself go
[Csus2]gently down the stream
[G]A fine example I h[D]ave set
Between the [Em]working and the livin' and
the [Csus2]ghost s that haunt my dreams
I've got [G]five [Em]minutes [Csus2]and I'm gonna smoke
[D]this cigarette

[Outro 1]
