Tin Can On A String

	  		

 

          G 
After the breakup, 
                      D 
I really thought we'd make up. 
                  Em 
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind 
                   C 
And suddenly she'd wake up. 
                 G 
But today if you listen, 
                  D 
Softly off in the distance, 
                 Em 
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound 
                 C 
Of wedding bells ringing. 
            C 
And there's bird seed on the concrete, 
    G                D 
And she's waving goodbye 

                    C 
And they're driving away 
    G                       D                   C 
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade 
     G            D 
Yeah she's really gone, 
              C   D          D7 
I thought someday that would be me 
                      G                 D 
But now she's driving away in that limousine 
                C 
And I'm holdin' on 
       D             G 
Like a tin can on a string. 

             G 
Somewhere in my mind, 
               D 
I'm the one by her side. 
            Em 
In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach 
                  C 
And that honeymoon flight. 
                   G 
I'd play the whole thing out, 
                 D 
From the kids to the house, 
       Em                            C 
To the future that we always dreamed about. 
            C 
But there's bird seed on the concrete, 
    G                D 
And back here in reality 

              C 
She's driving away 
         G                  D                   C 
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade 
     G            D 
Yeah she's really gone, 
              C   D          D7 
I thought someday that would be me 
                      G                 D 
But now she's driving away in that limousine 
                C 
And I'm holdin' on 
       D            G 
Like a tin can on a string. 

G C D G 

              C   D          D7 
I thought someday that would be me 
                      G                 D 
But now she's driving away in that limousine 
            Em                      C 
And I'm not ready to let go of everything 
               G              D 
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on 


                    G 
Like a tin can on a string.
