Tom: G5
 

VERSE 1
              G5              D5          G5     G5
There's a guy singing in the edge of the room
       E5                      C5
Making sounds through a face like a prune.
              E5                     A5
He's got them fancy checkered pants and a chip in his tooth.
   C5
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
     G5               D5        G5        G5
Suffocating from patchouli and smoke.
           E5                  C5
Here's the fifty-first song that he wrote
          E5              A5
About the girl who split fifty weeks ago
       C5
Oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
              C5                             G5
And there's a weight heavy down there on his shoulder.

CHORUS
    Eb5                 C5
The patented moves growing colder,
    Eb5                           C5           C5
The seventh chord just keeps getting older.

VERSE 2
G5  D5 G5  G5   E5              C5
Oh my soul, just hit me if I get on a roll,
             E5                A5
But this all sounded so good in the bedroom cold
   C5
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
        G5      D5     G5     G5
But its only a 2 AM   tune
       E5                         C5
With a bridge that was lifted from "My Aim Is True"
         E5              A5
From the setlist drink to the practice room
   C5
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
              C5                             G5
But there's a weight heavy down there on his shoulder.

CHORUS
    Eb5                 C5
The patented moves growing colder,
    Eb5                           C5       C5
The seventh chord just keeps getting older.

LINK
       B5                          C5
And he knows just as sure as this microphone stinks
          A5                                  D5
There's a change coming through and he ain't going home alone tonight.
G5 D5 / G5 G5
      Alright!

CODA
G5                                        E5
Oh, we're going down, but don't it sound sweet
                                 C5
Feel the dust building up at our feet
    C5                               G5
The seventh chord just keeps getting older.

The seventh chord just keeps getting older.
