Verse 1
G 
D 
G 
It must have seemed strange
when I came into the office
on the next day
F# 
G 
Like as if nothing had changed
And I got my morning coffee
Bm 
and my yogurt from the fridge
G 
My appearance made the
Em 
G 
secretary cringe
Bm 
G 
A 
I   was sitting at my desk,
G 
A 
G 
wondering why my tablet won't unlock
A 
G 
Doing my best to look busy,
A 
now I've started sweating
G 
Bm 
Cause the drawer I keep my pills in
has been emptied out
G 
A 
Bm 
Broke a pencil in my mouth,
G 
Bm 
Victor's walking towards me
G 
A 
G 
with his tendons popping out
Bm 
This is  what he looks like
G 
F# 
Bm 
when we lose a big account
G 
Em 
And Victor doesn't like me
G 
cause I've worked here twice as long
Bm 
A 
Bm 
I never made much of an effort to get along
G 
I  say, good morning, Victor.
Bm 
He doesn't even answer.
A 
G 
A 
He just barges in and closes the door and says,
D 
G 
Take a year off,
maybe you can come back.
D 
G 
Done some good work,
it hasn't always been bad.
D 
G 
Written good, cold,
told me most of what I know.
D 
G 
But you've been distracted
and we have to let you go.
D 
G 
Take a year off,
maybe you can come back.
D 
G 
Done some good work,
it hasn't always been bad.
D 
G 
Pretty good goal,
told me most of what I know
D 
G 
But you've been distracted
Bm 
and we had to let you go
A 
G 
Suddenly I  knew I'd heard him
say these things before
Victor fired me yesterday
Bm 
G 
but somehow I'd ignored him
A 
I was shocked and furious
G 
and mostly just embarrassed
Bm 
G 
Even though the door was shut
A 
G 
I knew that they were staring
Bm 
D 
G 
A 
Victor started telling me
G 
how I had shoved this girl
Bm 
G 
Yes terday when she told me
A 
the coffee wasn't made
Bm 
A 
And Vic tor said I had to leave,
G 
but I was pleading with him
Bm 
G 
You should be embarrassed
A 
Bm 
for firing a family man
G 
I've been with this company
Em 
for 24 years
Bm 
Said it was appreciated
G 
A 
and said it was a snub
Bm 
G 
A 
Hey, I know that I haven't
G 
been that fun to be around
Bm 
But even the interns
A 
Bm 
have a way of talking down to me
G 
Victor loosened up his tie
Em 
and last we got to shout
Bm 
That Jim and Barry came along
G 
A 
to escort me out
D 
Bm 
G 
Take a  year off,
maybe you can come back
D 
G 
Done some good work,
D 
it hasn't always been that written
G 
Good call told me most of what I know
D 
G 
But you've been distracted
D 
and we have to let you go, please go
G 
Take a year off,
D 
maybe you can come back
Try to get some help,
G 
get your cell phone checked
Em 
G 
D 
You don't understand
F#m 
Bm 
how you look from where I am
F# 
You're not a stable man,
but you can be
G 
D 
You don't understand
F#m 
Bm 
how you look from where I am
F#m 
F# 
You're not   a stable man,
F# 
but you can be
