C G F G Every time I see you in the world you always step to my girl C Back back way back G I used to front like Angkor Wat Am G Mechanicsburg, Anchorage, and Dar es Salam Dm While home in New York Am was champagne and disco Dm G tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco C G but actually Oakland and not Alameda F G Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader Dm Am Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman Dm G I was a hoarder but girl that was back then C The gloves are off G Am The wisdom teeth are out What you on about? F C I feel it in my bones F Am-G I feel it in my bones C I'm stronger now G Am I?m ready for the house Such a Modest Mouse F C I can?t do it alone F Am-G I can?t do it alone. C G F G Every time I see you in the world you always step to my girl C G Ancestors told me that their girl was better Am She?s richer than Croesus G she?s tougher than leather Dm Am I just ignored all the tales of a past life Dm G Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife C G Punks who would laugh when they saw us together F G well they didn?t know how to dress for the weather Dm Am I can still see them there huddled on Astor Dm G snow falling slow to the sound of the master C The gloves are off G Am The wisdom teeth are out What you on about? F C I feel it in my bones F Am-G I feel it in my bones C I?m stronger now G Am I?m ready for the house Such a Modest Mouse F C I can?t do it alone F Am-G I can?t do it alone. C G wisdom?s a gift but you?d trade it for youth Am G age is an honor it?s still not the truth Dm Am we saw the stars when they hid from the world Dm G you cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl C G maybe she?s gone and I can?t resurrect her F G the truth is she doesn?t need me to protect her Dm Am we know the true death the true way of our flesh Dm G everyone?s dying but girl you?re not old yet C The gloves are off G Am The wisdom teeth are out What you on about? F C I feel it in my bones F Am-G I feel it in my bones C I?m stronger now G Am I?m ready for the house Such a Modest Mouse F C I can?t do it alone F Am-G I can?t do it alone.
