[Intro]
G

[Verse]
G F
Dear Mr. Charles Schultz, 1973
Am G
I'm feeding rolls of quarters in the pay television, and trying to make sense

of today
G F
Two missed connections in the Amtrak station, still days away from my final

destination
Am G
When I see the city lights I'll know I'll made the finish line
G F
My girl Lucy waits for me to bend my knee
Am G
But the diamond doesn't shine and I can barely make the payments on our

telephone ring
G F
I took a second job watching the clock change hands
Am G F
The seven's disappointed and me I'm not committed to be a numbers man
Am
G F
Dear Mr. Charles Brown, I make the rent on time
Am G
It's true I'm undecided and the season has expired, I'll never be the man she

desires
G F
Two missed connections in the Amtrak station, I walked out the door without

delay or hesitation
Am G
Somebody shouted your name and I swear they yelled fire
G F
Charles, my best is not enough, today I'm finally giving up
Am G
Oh, Lucy I love you, my plane isn't landing, they're telling me my phone is

tapped
G F
It's going down to the wire, I'm collecting the rain
Am G
And I'll use it for payment to catch another downtown train

[Outro]
F Am G F Am
