Verse: 

C C Am7 Am7 Em7 Em7 G G
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark
C C Am7 Am7 Em7 Em7 G G
There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall
Am Am F F Am Am F F
He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes
C C G G
Things that remind him: 'Life has been good'
Am Am
Twenty-five years
F F
He's worked at the paper
C C G G Gsus4 Gsus4 G G
A A man's here to take him downstairs.


Chorus:

C C F F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
G G C C
It's time



Verse:


C C Am7 Am7 Em7 Em7 G G
There was no party, there were no songs
C C Am7 Am7 Em7 Em7 G G
'Cause today's just a day like the day that he started
Am Am F F Am Am F F
No one has left here that knows his first name
C C G G
And life barrels on like a runaway train
Am Am
Where the passengers change
F F
They don't change anything
C C G G Gsus4 Gsus4 G G
You get off; someone else can get on


Chorus:

C C F F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
G G C C
It's time


Bridge:

Am Am Em Em
Streetlight shines through the shades
F F C C G/B G/B
Casting lines on the floor, and lines on his face
F F C C
He reflects on the day


Verse:

C C Am7 Am7 Em7 Em7 G G
Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
C C Am7 Am7 Em7 Em7 G G
Projecting some slides onto a plain white
Am Am F F Am Am F F
Canvas and traces it, fills in the spaces
C C G G
He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right
Am Am
Yeah, and all of these bastards
F F
Have taken his place
C C G G Gsus4 Gsus4 G G
He's forgotten but not yet gone


Chorus:

C C F F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
C C F F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
C C F F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
G G C C
It's time
