Verse 
            A 
Well It's five o'clock sharp in the afternoon 
         E                          A 
And i'm about to start singin' my leavin' tune 

I'm hitting that door at a jail break speed 
            E 
i've got a girl waitin' at home for me and I  

Chorus 
  A          E      A         D          A         E         A      
Can't get home, I can't get home, no I can't get home fast enough 

Verse 
         E   
I spend most of my day on the daily grind 
      A 
If I come home late, she don't mind 
            E 
I've got a full time job with a part time pay 
         A 
But my bills stay paid anyway 
         D                           A 
I just can't seem to catch a break after a long day  
         B7                             E-F   
And i'm stuck here in a line ten miles long and I

Verse               
               E  
Well it's the same old thing when i'm out of town 
      A 
And I get to start to feelin' down  
       E 
I get wound up tighter than a pair of jeans 
            A 
That don't fit no more and bust out them seams 
       D 
And I get thoughts of breaking loose  
            A 
From being drug along like an old caboose  
        B7                         E-F 
But i'd be stuck on that line all alone and I  

Chorus 
           A                    
Well It's five o'clock sharp in the afternoon 
         E                          A 
And i'm about to start singin' my leavin' tune 

I'm hitting that door at a jail break speed 
            E 
i've got a girl waitin' at home for me and I  

Outro 
    A         E      A          D         A         E         A     E A                  
I can't get home, I can't get home, no I can't get home fast enough.
