Verse 1
D
First we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talk

or sit silently and listen to our thoughts
Cadd9                     D
with illusions of someday casting a golden light
Cadd9                D
no dress rehearsal, this is our life

Int       Riff [x2]

Pre-Chorus
D                                Cadd9                     D
that's where the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream
                Cadd9                          D
with revenge and doubt tonight, we smoke them out

Chorus
A                         G/B                         A 
You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century, you are ahead 
            G/B
by a century

Int   D Riff [x4]

Verse 2
D
Stare in the morning shroud and then the day began

I tilted your cloud you tilted my hand
Cadd9                    D
rain falls in real time and rain fell through the night
C                  D
no dress rehearsal, this is our life

Int  D Riff [x2] 

Pre-Chorus
D                              Cadd9                      D
That's when the hornet stung me and I had a serious dream
                Cadd9                          D
with revenge and doubt tonight, we smoked them out


Outro
A                          G                           A
You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century, you are ahead 
             G                           A                           G
by a century,                             you are ahead by a century, 
                           A                           G    D D D
you are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century                  
G                        D        
and disappointing you's getting me down
