Tom: C
C
Skinny young man with born again eyes
F C
And Jesus tattoo on his arm
C
He leans on the wall while the traffic goes by
F G
At the gasmart at Fairview and Farm
C
A rap song pounds from an '83 Caddy
F C
While he waits on a payphone to ring
F C
Been standing around since a quarter past nine
G C
Still hasn't heard a thing
[Chorus]
F G C F G C *
24 hours a day, 24 hours a day
F G C F
Sign says we're open, and man says you'll pay
C G C
24 hours a day
[Verse]
C
Backed up on Farm, car horns are screamin'
F C
'Cause some guys Suburban has stalled
C
He guesses her daddy must be back home
F G
Otherwise she'd have called
C
He thinks to himself, I guess I can't blame him
F C
It wasn't so smart what we did
F C
A uniformed cop gets in line with his coffee
G C
Someone yells at her kid
[Chorus]
F G C F G C *
24 hours a day, 24 hours a day
F G F
Sign says we're open, and man says you'll pay
C G C
24 hours a day
[Harmonica]
[Verse]
C
Car load of drunks, pulls up in a hurry
F C
For a six-pack before it's too late
C
He starts to dial, to leave one more message
F G
Stops and decides just to wait
C
Could have been different and maybe it couldn't
F C
With some things it's too late to learn
F C
Fumes from the gasoline hang in the air
G C
World just continues to turn
[Chorus]
F G C F G C *
24 hours a day, 24 hours a day
F G C F
Sign says we're open, and man says you'll pay
C G C
24 hours a day
[Reprise]
