Punchline - The Other Piano Man Chords

[Verse 1]
A
  One life is a timely gift
G#m
  Who knew it would make him sick?
C#m
  Half way when he found his list
   B
of life long goals And now
A
  regret sinks in like feet
G#m
  In mud but not so deep
C#m
  And at forty with muddy teeth
    B
The list is still clean
 
 
[Chorus 1]
        C#m        G#m
And the piano plays
    C#m        B
without his fingers
C#m           A
It's too late he
G#m       F#m   A   C#m
tears the list apart
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
  Paper piles up in stacks
     G#m
At a desk he regrets is his habitat
      C#m
In an empty house full of furniture
        B
That he sits on nightly watching TV
A
  A pastime that seems to fit
       G#m
He's a master of time management
   C#m
At what point do we set aside
    B
the important things in your life?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
    C#m        G#m
The piano plays
    C#m
And he has nothing to
        B  C#m      A
do with it It's too late
   G#m       F#m   A   C#m B
he tears the list apart
 
A C#m

Where were you last week
B                G#/C
when the curtain called you?
C#m
We're all restless
    A
And ready to sing
   F#/A#         B
So play anything that we
         G#/C
know the words to!
C#m
Play Brick! Play Queen
Play Bennie and the Jets

A
Hey wait a second here
     F#/A#
I'm smoking and drinking
and after I'm done
     B
I'll play what I want!

   And as the crowd
starts to scream
B
   He realized it
was just a dream
