24 meets 40

(Eric Stone, Erbie Garrett)

Intro: G, Am, F, G

G Am D G

Lordy, Lordy, look who’s 40, reads the banner above his desk

G Am D C G

At the office party he can hardly, fake a smile but he does his best

G Am D G

He ducks out quickly and heads for the city, where he's found comfort so many time before

G Am D C G

He beats depression, at the intersection of highway 40 and 24

Am G

He walks into that small bar, just off the interstate

Am C D

He's buying drinks for a girl he thinks is barely half his age

Chorus:

C D G

It's a place he knows he shouldnt be

Am D G

A crossroads, it's just the same old story

C G

But while she's there for him to hold

D Em D D D G

He doesn't feel so old at the little bar where 24 meets 40

G Am D G

They start to slow dance, a happy hour romance and he begins to feel like a younger man,

G Am D C G

He barely knows her but pulls her closer and hold on as tight as he can

Am G

Like 2 roads that come together, 2 lonely hearts collide

Am C D

He's driven to relive his youth and she's along just for the ride

Repeat Chorus

C G

While she's there for him to hold

D Em D C D G

He doesn't feel so old at the little bar where 24 meets 40
