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#
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,

I'm wide awake
Ab E B A Ab E B
in the cityscape
Ab E B A
Ab E B Ab
You did your time out on the road
E B A Ab
One day you stayed away for good
E B Ab
You found a home down by the shore
E B A Ab
A place to hang your hat and more
A Ab
You sent me postcards to tell me of
B A Ab
Slowing down and finding love
A Ab
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.

Jamie I will see you soon.
