Todd Snider - 24 Hours A Day Chords

24 Hours a Day
 

 C
 Skinny young man

 with born again eyes
        F                   C
 and a jesus tattoo on his arm

 leans on the wall

 while the trafic goes by
                               G
 the gas mart at Fairveiw and Farm
 C
 A rap song pounds from an 83 caddy
           F                        C
 While he waits on a pay phone to ring
        F                       C          F
 been standing around since a quater past nine
 C             G      C
 still hasn't heard thing

 Chorus:
 F    G      C
 24 hours a day
 F     G      C
 24 hours a day
 F                G       C       F
 sign says were open the man says you pay
 F    G      C
 24 hours a day

 backed up on Farm
 carhorns are screaming
 cause some guys suburban is stalled
 he guesses her daddy
 must be back home
 otherwise she'd have called
 he thinks to himself
 i guess i can't blame him
 it wasn't so smart what we did
 a uniformed cop gets in line with his coffee
 some woman yells at her kid

 Repeat Chorus

 (harmonica solo)

 carload of drunks
 pulls up in a hurry
 for a six pack before it's too late
 he starts to dial
 to leave one moe message
 stops and decides just to wait
 could have been diffrent
 and maybe it coudn't
 with some things it's too late to learn
 fumes from the gasoline hang in the air
 world just continues to turn

 Repeat Chorus

 The skinny young man
 with born again eyes
 and a jesus tattoo on his arm
 leans on the wall
 while the traffic goes by
 a gas mart at farveiw and farm
 hmmmmmm hmmmmmm hmmmmm
