_ _ _ He walks over to the window and without a hesitation he [Bb] goes out. _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] I run over to the window and I see him hit the sidewalk [Bb] like a trout.

_ _ _ _ _ Every afternoon in college he'd sit down and pour himself [Bb] another brew.
_ _ _ _ _ Just to soon forsake his knowledge for an hour's entertainment with the crew.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] With a tub of buttered popcorn and a can or two of soda.
[F] He gets sucked into the programs like he has to make some [Em] quota.
