B*
Lunchtime Friday, leave work early
C#*
Rushing through the suburbs to the station to catch the train
E E*
Heading up to town to Dave's to get my glad rags on
B*
Because lately I've been running down, little things catching up
C#*
Excuses stretched thin and it's hard not giving up
E E*
Tonight we're going to get it right, we're going to have us a good one
C# B
And the roll call is missing a name
C# A
Since you left things haven't been the same
E B* A*
But I don't blame you, there was nothing here to make you stay
C# B C#
But I remember the way that you'd light up a room when you walk in,
A E
The way that you'd lead a crowd when you sing
B* A*
Jamie, this one is for you.
B* C#* E E*
B* C#*
Pre-club beers at Dan's before we hit the road
We're nicely warmed up, pleasantly half-loaded
E E*
Ready for a night on fire, we're going to get out the big guns
B*
And I run down the numbers, scan through the faces
C#*
Run through the plans, scout out the places
E E*
I'm electrified, surrounded, but can't shake the feeling of still missing something or someone
C# B
And the roll call is missing a name
C# A
Since you left things haven't been the same
E B* A*
But I don't blame you, there was nothing here to make you stay
C# B C#
But I remember the way that you'd light up a room when you walk in,
A E
The way that you'd lead a crowd when you sing
B* A* E
Jamie, this one is for you.
B* A*
Jamie, this one is for you.
A* (cont.) G#* E B*
I'm wide awake
G#* E* B* A* G#* E B*
in the cityscape
G#* E B* A*
G#* E B* G#*
You did your time out on the road
E B* A* G#*
One day you stayed away for good
E B* G#*
You found a home down by the shore
E B* A* G#
A place to hang your hat and more
A G#
You sent me postcards to tell me of
B A G#
Slowing down and finding love
A G#
The thrill has gone from the city life
B A
I'm not far behind
C# B
So you can strike my name from the roll call,
C# A
When night falls I'm leaving
E B* A*
There is nothing here to make me stay
C# B
When I get to the coast I will send back a postcard
C# A
To tell all my old friends all about my new start
E B* A*
Jamie I will see you soon.
E B* A*
Jamie I will see you soon.
E B* A*
Jamie I will see you soon.
E B* A*
Jamie I will see you soon.
