Capo 1, it's basically the same chord sequence throughout the song, you can split it into two parts to make it a bit clearer, the first part being: A A7 F#m E, then the second part: D A D E Intro: Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl A A7 F#m E D A D E (x2) Verse 1: A Back back way back A7 F#m E I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam D A While home from New York was champagne and disco D E Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco A A7 But actually Oakland and not Alameda F#m E Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader D A Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman D E I was a hoarder but girl, that was back then Bridge: A A7 F#m E Chorus: A A7 F#m The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out E What you on about? D A D E I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones A A7 F#m I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house E Such a modest mouse D A D E I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone A A7 F#m E Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl D A D E Verse 2: A A7 Ancestors told me that their girl was better F#m E She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather D A I just ignored all the tales of a past life D E Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife A A7 And punks who would laugh when they saw us together F#m E Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather D A I can still see them there huddled on Astor D E Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master Chorus: A A7 F#m The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out E What you on about?
