A            E                  Bm
Sitting in a uniform of the three-piece suit and ribbons from his past
 A             E                  Bm
Looking for a little boy at the bar with the mouth who thinks he's clever now
 A            E                  Bm
Dreaming of a day that he got home from a war to his childhood sweetheart


[Pre-chorus]

F#m         E         D
    Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him,
F#m         E             D
    Just a feeling, of an empty place, deteriorating


[Verse]

Jimmy's always been a local, but he's seen much more than I'm bound to ever
A member of a dying breed that sat and wait as it all just falls apart
Thinking of a day that's oh so long ago, he can't remember right
There was a time a man could still be a man and proud to use his heart


[Pre-chorus]

Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him,
There was really only one,


[Chorus]

                      A*         E
Now he misses how she sounds, he frowns,
   Bm
He lines them up and he puts them down
     A         E
It's sad, this town
Bm
Seems to fail to appreciate the man


[Guitar Solo]

| A    | E    | Bm   | Bm   | x2


[Pre-chorus] (one strum only)

Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him,
No he don't feel anymore, coz Jimmy's so thick skinned
F#m        E          D
    And a long, long time ago, when he could break her heart
F#m            E      D
    There was really only one,


[Chorus]

                      A*         E
Now he misses how she sounds, he frowns,
   Bm
He lines them up and he puts them down
     A         E
It's sad, this town
Bm
Seems to fail to appreciate 
     A     E
what he's about
Bm
Lines them up and puts them down
     A        E    Bm
It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man
