Tom: G
Chorus - Bm - Am - Bm - C - D
G Em C Am
Sacramento's half the city since you took that job two states away
G Em C Am
I count the days as I wait these tables trying to save the fund to come and stay
G Em C Am
And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if I tried
G Em C Am
It's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive.
Old Mr Linden passed on his warmest regards from the window seat
Since his good wife took leave of this life he ain't half the man he use to be
And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if he tried
And the stars up the skies may as well burn out if you ain't by my side
Bm Am
Oh Marianne, Marianne wait for me
Bm C D
One day I will be your king and you will be my queen
Instrumental - G - Em - C - Am
