in a pink- slip

This wish just to going back here

With a cold cane, there was nobody here

It came with the singers in hazel

pink- slips

Verse 4
G G 
 
Is it a kiss or it's just a dream
and I'm drifting?

Other fish lay lifted,
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
only happy till the age of 10

It's still a gift, but we can't go back,

those two too sad and dies
Am Am

It's just a dream we all have
G G 
 
Now I know in the touch lane,
Em Em 
 
a post per post of puckered lips
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
From Academy Awards to pink- slips
G G 
 
I show them my Corvette
with no ' for years
Em Em 
 
And I'm standing in the rain to get
Am Am 
 
the champagne or beers
They said 'who's that shadow
sneaking up behind the pier?'
D D 
 
He was rushing he was rattled
now he's finally in the clear
G G 
 
To be a, a  refugee from the rat race
Em Em 
 
with a swag tuxedo in his face
Am Am 
 
A   music room that you can't place,
D D 
 
sing the songs on all them tapes
G G 
 
He's the lonely aid on the planet ' now he
Em Em 
 
doesn't even write, he just rows
C C 
 
D D 
 
And they cover up his cot with pink- slips
