EB
Sally played the guitar
Jimmy got good grades
Now he works nights and Saturdays
He always followed the rules
But it turns out that doesn't pay
Jimmy doesn't know what he's gonna do
But he knows he can't go on this way
And though they may not carry weight
Jimmy got good grades

BF#
Afraid to be alone
EB
Cuz Sally when she plays, she plays
G#mF#
And no one else is on the stage
Jimmy hides out
At the top of the stairs
In his room at night
He has adventures
When there's nobody there
He reads by candlelight
And when the sun begins to rise
Jimmy blinks and rubs his eyes
