(verse 1)
[G]Jeannie had big p[D]lans, a ballerina, Broadway bo[G]und,
And that '87 H[D]onda, was gonna get her out of this t[G]own,
Caviar for breakf[D]ast, a limo waiting every n[G]ight,
White chiffon and black [D]tie,
Her name up on the marquee l[Am7]ights,
Oh, how her star was gonna sh[D]ine,
[Am7]Oh, but in the meant[D]ime

(chorus)
[G]Make the coffee, [G/B]read the paper,
[C]Late for work, d[D]reams will wait 'til later,
[G]Get the bills paid, [G/B]buy the groceries,
[C]No time to sto[D]p and smell the roses,
[G]Ain't it funny, [G/B]ain't it fine,
[C]How life goes[Dsus] on, in the me[D]antime,

(verse 2)
Bobby had a fast ball, everybody talked about,
He made it to the minors, struck a hundred batters out,
But something in his elbow, gave out in the final game,
He had an operation, never threw quite the same,
Yeah, he'll be back when his arm is fine,
Yeah, but in the meantime,

(chorus)
[G]Make the coffee, [G/B]read the paper,
[C]Late for work, d[D]reams will wait 'til later,
[G]Get the bills paid, [G/B]buy the groceries,
[C]No time to sto[D]p and smell the roses,
[G]Ain't it funny, [G/B]ain't it fine,
[C]How life goes[Dsus] on, in the me[D]antime,

[Am7]Now Jeannie takes the girls to dance class Wed[G/B]nesday afternoons,
And B[C]obby coaches Little league,[G] Junior will be pitching soon,
[Am7]Sometimes at night they laugh about [G/B]old meant to be's and might have beens,
But[Am7] 6 o'clock comes [G/B]early and it's t[C]ime to start the d[D]ay again
